![]() ![]() Can I recover the former linux user and remount the former home partition? I think I could have selected a mount point for it without formatting it when I reinstalled linux.Īnd can I do the same for windows if I reinstall it over the old one? Seems like reinstalling both windows and again linux are the only options in sight for me. I have created a new linux user with the same name as the old, I can access my former /home partition as I can the windows partition, they are shown as other partitions. So i reinstalled linux on the former root partition, formatting it. But the Windows ocmmands were enoguh to screw GRUB again, which i again could not fix. The commands in the linux live Cd terminal did not workĪnd of course once rebooting windows it still does not work. Ok, to give you an update on what I have done: The partitions and the files are accesible from Mint 19.1, just can't find the OS to boot itįound a utility os-prober that does not give any output. I have an ubuntu efi in that list, which says it can not boot if i try it, probabily the failed grub from previous crashes. During the installation proces it said no OS detected.Found some commands in other results, update-grub something and now I have 4 options, or related to mint 19.1 the menu when pressing FN + F12 on my laptop for BIOS option and boot order has been diminished. So i installed mint 19.1 and it worked, but when the PC rebooted it was going directly in mint. I ended up with a new 500MB ESP boot partition which was visible as fat32 drive E: in windows. Before starting the install, mint21 only detecte mint 18 as an OS. over windows and linux18.3 which were working but I couldn't because it tried to write the bootloader again and failed with fatal error. I have planned to repair Windows with a windows 10 recovery disk, but I could not, I have tried all the options there, but none work, includeing the firmware and some commands from the internet, some worked and some not, which resulted in the computer now booting in the network mode, as nothing from the hard drive seems to work.īefore this crash I have tried installing mint 21. I have noticed some firmware errors when logging in and out of linux also. Could only get back to windows when installing mint 18.3. I have written a mint 21 vanessa CD on 64 bits, but when installing from the CD it could not write the bootloader on /dev/sda, as was the default option.I have tried reinstalling several times. I have a problem that requires urgent solving, since I need both a 64 bit Linux and windows 10 running asap since I have to log in to work from windows, but I also have some other work on 64bit LinuxĪs listed in the title, I had windows 10 education and needed a Linux to dual boot.I first screwed up by using my old mint 18.3 on 32 bits to install to go with windows, so I realised I need a new 64 bit CD, so i destroyed the Linux partitions from windows 10, and when I restarted I had a crashed GRUB command line.and from here a long list of trouble which is tormenting me and costing me money for 2 days.
