Why won't the new hdd start?
Good. So. There is a laptop sony vaio sve... his hdd crashed after a blow and overheating. Bought a new WD Blue. It was installed in the case, the BIOS detected it.
There is a Live USB with Linux Mint 64x, downloaded from off site and unpacked via rufus.
In the BIOS, everything is configured to start with an external device. When reinstalling the OS on the old hdd, everything went smoothly.
What does not add up and why does operation system not found appear?

BIOS settings.
@Drno
A_kris7, turn off ueffi, secure mod in bios, set legacy boot.
and in this case write a flash drive in MBR format, without ueffi support. in theory it should work
I read your question but didn't see the description of the problem there.
I will point my finger at the sky.
Make sure you have installed the operating system on this drive.
Wangyu, they mixed up the UEFI / GPT and CSM / MBR modes.
Specifically, on SVE, in order to boot from a flash drive, it must also be broken into GPT and have the FAT32 file system (a flash drive broken into MBR will not be picked up even if there is an EFI folder on it, even despite the fact that on other computers, booting from it will work fine). This is a problem with the not-so-intelligent UEFI InsydeH2O that this laptop has.
