that DEFINITELY must be turned off. Also a Windows update may have eaten your grub loader for breakfast. common.
hence the message in pic.
- if the first thing above doesnt immediately fix it, then get a usb live iso of Mint (any currentish release) and boot it, and run the boot repair program.
Fixed it
I made a disc with supergrub2
which is a thing that lets you boot an os even if grub is all fucked
Booted that and using it i was able to get linux mint to boot
Then i used this boot repair program
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
Did the recommended repair option, then restarted the computer and put ubuntu on top of windows in the BIOS
now everythings working again
this wouldve made more sense but the only usb drive i could find wasnt big enough for linux mint lol
