Linux error.

There's a lot of remote desktop apps
None of them are applicable until the drive is connected to a different computer
gHacks.net does this stuff I believe ?
 
Hi,
Yeah I see repair install keeping files and apps will fix your boot issues if you haven't got a system image to fall back to.
Startup repair might help but still think you'll need win-11 installation media.

MS new install policy is pretty bad for dual booting on the same disk with linux even if you get past the efi/ legacy thing
MS installs a recovery tools partition at the end of disks so this is also where linux installs lol
Install linux and it breaks the windows RE and MS will install another this is where linux gets borked

Best thing you can do if you want to use linux is use VMWare or similar or at least the safest way.
not with how broadcom is doing vmware dirty they doing away w most of thier product lines and they just announced they killing tons of product lines!
 
Times are changing :/

Very good
C still has the boot files
Issue is there is a drive letter K on the efi 100mb partition so that needs to be removed

Select volume 3
remove letter=K
exit

That is a capital K

If that fails
Go back
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0 this is a zero
list par
post another image so I can see what partition efi is might still say K ?
If it's still K use
select par K
remove letter=K
exit

shut down and start up normally.

Need to see another screen shot after the above
 
No, just remove the letter.

Did you add the letter ?
 
You were following the online instructions
I just snapped to that when it showed K lol

Every time they say exit that means close the window and start over.
 
I have no idea what that is
Can you boot into windows yet ?
 
Good time to try if you completed the format and removed the temporary partition letter. K or F
 
What is "it" ?
