minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:47 AM

#

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

despite i recommend u to have two ESPs ill try to help u

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

#

but whta should i do r8 now

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

since windows is closed the commands to recover ur esp may nuke ur grub files

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

I dont wanr to reinstall windows

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

thats why i recommend u to have two esp

#

i can help u to recover the efi of windows

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

minor rampart since windows is closed the commands to recover ur esp may nuke ur grub files

It fine i will reinstall arch

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

it is not very diff

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

soft geyser It fine i will reinstall arch

no u do not need to

#

if u want to use two esp which i think is the best u just have to reinstall grub

#

not the entire system

#

cause linux is modular

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

ok

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:49 AM

#

i will try to help with that later if u want

#

first of all u will need the win install media

#

to access a win cmd

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 10:50 AM

#

How to restore an accidentally deleted Windows Boot Manager with a ...

During my Arch Linux installation, I accidentally formatted the EFI system partition created by my existing Windows installation and replaced it with a new EFI system that starts Arch Linux using systemd-boot. While my initial goal was to have a Windows 10 / Arch Linux dual boot, I am currently only able to boot under Arch since I deleted my Win...

#

the diff is that in my cmd prompt diskpart , list disk dont show my ssd

#

I have opened cmd

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 10:57 AM

#

yes

#

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

check in ur uefi the disk management protocol

#

like RAID, ahci, nvme

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

Only ny 8gb usb

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:00 AM

#

minor rampart like RAID, ahci, nvme

I dont see that thing in uefi

#

I mean idk how to see that

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:00 AM

#

it depends on ur uefi

#

but u should have the option to change it

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:01 AM

#

check in the disk or storage sections

#

config

#

if bad disk protocol is not the issue my only thought is about a driver issue

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

Its show me System time, system date, wireless LAN, intel vmd controller, graphics devies, intel virtuailaztion technology, intel vt-d feature, intel hyper - threading techanology, bios back flash , hotkey mode, fool proof fn ctrl, Diable building battery, flip to boot, bios self-healing, restore default overclocking

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

is there any update for ur uefi?

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

minor rampart is there any update for ur uefi?

Idk anything about uefi

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

are u using the win10 install media or the win11 one

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

windows 11

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

try to use the latest one

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

home

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:04 AM

#

ok right

#

i think this is a driver issue

#

cause diskpart should list all the disks fine

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:05 AM

#

but i m able to see drive in arch perfectly

#

with lsblk

#

or fdisk -l

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:05 AM

#

yep ik thats what im saying

#

so the drive is well connected

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:05 AM

#

i was able to see that ssd before a moment i made this accident

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:05 AM

#

try to chkdsk /f /r

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:06 AM

#

i have run the diskpart for deleting grub folder inside windows

#

one moment

#

the type of the file system is NTFS.

#

cannot lock current drive

#

Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:09 AM

#

wait a min

#

try to type C: then enter

#

to see if it moves to the local disk at least

#

anyways if it still being undetected try to use win10 install media

#

to see if it works

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:13 AM

#

#

Bro just see for a thing bcoz i got data inside p3 p4

#

Hello bro u there?

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:22 AM

#

yep wait

#

im helping another guy

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:23 AM

#

soft geyser Hello bro u there?

if it still not detecting ur disk i would suggest to use the win10 install media

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:24 AM

#

ok

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:27 AM

#

to see if it works yk

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:28 AM

#

but will it be fine to use win 10 for win 11 ?

#

One of my friend recommended me to go with sergio strelec boot media

#

Can you help me with that

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:41 AM

#

i do not know anything about that so i cannot help with it

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 11:41 AM

#

soft geyser but will it be fine to use win 10 for win 11 ?

it should, since the bcdboot command just copies boot files and creates the boot entry

#

but dont proceed if u want to stay safe

#

this is the only thing that comes to my mind since ur error is strange as fuck

#

i think it could be a driver issue

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 11:52 AM

#

I m able to access ssd before i deleted folder manually

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 12:08 PM

#

in win cmd?

#

im going to check the tutorial

#

can u send it again?

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 12:34 PM

#

What?

minor rampart May 4, 2024, 12:38 PM

#

the tutorial u followed that made u unable to acess the disk in diskpart

soft geyser May 4, 2024, 12:42 PM
