[SOLVED] Computer not finding OS after working earlier | Arch Linux Community | Page 1

Arch Linux was working for me the past day, being able to shutdown and restart just fine. I turn it off and when I reboot to it again my laptop doesn't find it as an OS, attached is my boot order. If you have any questions just tell me, please help me get it booting again
Thank you

#

It is on an SSD and not the harddisk, but I had it this way with my prior SSD

#

I also have tried booting to the install USB to no avail

were you not able to boot into the live iso?

#

what did you try

#

I've tried booting from the boot menu, doing it by changing the order, and putting the live iso USB into different hardware slots and trying to boot it

#

If I turn off legacy boot order it shows this

#

Do I need to see if the live iso somehow got corrupted during the install

Edit, checked how it looked on a Windows computer and it pops up as drives F G and H

neat robin These settings good?

this is a stick?

#

Yes

#

I do believe I messed up the live iso after installing, but the computer booted from the SSD correctly a few times

#

Should the partition scheme be mbr or gpt

vale oriole Dec 22, 2023, 11:40 AM

#

neat robin Yes

ok

#

it worked last time -> it should also work this time

neat robin Dec 22, 2023, 11:42 AM

#

That's what I'm thinking, so I must have messed up something somehow

vale oriole Dec 22, 2023, 11:42 AM

#

neat robin Should the partition scheme be mbr or gpt

whatever it was set to

#

just flash it

#

don't bother about the settings

neat robin Dec 22, 2023, 11:45 AM

#

Flashed, booting to live iso, thank you

#

I am gonna try adding it to the hard disk and setting up the SSD as extra storage

#

I'll add solved once I get it running

neat robin Flashed, booting to live iso, thank you

arch-chroot into your installation and then install grub

#

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

#

do this if u have it already installed

#

do you know how to chroot into your installation?

Chroot

#

When running lsblk my 2tb SSD shows up as 2Gb

#

I don't know how to chroot into it, is that what I still should be doing

#

I'm fine reinstalling, and that's my plan, I just need to get to where I can

#

I keep all my files on GitHub

#

I fixed it!

#

The drive showing as two gb, I took it out and clean it before I put it back in, now I have the partitions and can try to chroot ib

vale oriole arch-chroot into your installation and then install grub

So I chrooted into it, ran pacman -S grub, and I'm getting an error

#

Third line from the bottom is the command

#

Switched out of it and am making sure I have efibootmgr

Please try replacing -o with >.
