I recently upgraded and currently I have 2 instances of Windows (1 in my HDD and the other in my newly bought SSD). Obviously I want to remove Windows 10 from my HDD. Will doing that using OS-Uninstaller format only that part or the will it format the entire disk? I don't want to lose my data.
I have a dual boot Win 10 - Ubuntu 16.04 on my PC and wanted to run Ubuntu after more than a year without using it. Choosing Ubuntu in the GRUB worked, but the initialisation process got stuck in the loading phase with the Ubuntu logo. This had already occurred in the past after major Win 10 updates and was usually fixed by running boot-repair
from a live USB.
I tried running boot-repair from a live USB (Ubuntu 20.04) but it kept showing the following error :
Please create a ESP partition (>1MB, fat boot flag). This can be performed via tools such as Gparted. Then try again.
I wonder why this error appears as there is an EFI partition on sda2. More details: my boot-repair log file
Besides, I earlier managed to launch Ubuntu once by tapping e
on the Ubuntu entry from the GRUB bootloader, and adding acpi=off
at the end of the line linux ...
, followed by CTRL+X (I assume this is more specific to my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop).
Unfortunately after rebooting I could not repeat that step, and the GRUB bootloader screen has now been replaced by a grub console...
Any help would be very much appreciated !
Kind regards,
Valentin
I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm going through the official documentation. Can someone explain why the command sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
lists "boot-repair" twice?
I have successfully recovered my system with the help of a software called Boot Repair. After the recovery, it sent some information to Ubuntu Pastebin, something like this one.
Does this kind of paste contain private information?
After installing Ubuntu, Windows didn't boot so I installed boot repair to fix this problem. But I am getting the message displayed below.
I tried to make a new partition with unformatted file system but still receiving the same message.
How do I fix it?
