I had a windows system and I changed the drive in it (removed the m.2 and installed a 512 SATA drive) then installed windows on it and for some reason it was not booting into this fresh install and was getting stuck on the bootloader option and saying can't find it, locate it manually.

 

I was done with it so I just reset my BIOS and cleaned the drive then installed mint from a flash drive and now it is also not booting.

First 2 things you should try are:

  • Disabling SecureBoot (especially since you are running Linux)
  • Changing boot mode from UEFI to CSM aka. Legacy, BIOS (Maybe you installed it in Legacy mode for some reason)

This may or may not help in this case, but these are common problem causes which you should exclude.

If changing those settings doesn't help switch them back

Tried it without secure boot, and it is still the same, the boot mode option is faded out and set to UEFI and I can't seem to find a way to change it.
