trying to move from linux to windows without losing data

[ivory orbit]

yeah idk this is taking too logn

long

anyways im gonna do this now

[exotic hound]

uh i'm assuming your computer is newer than like 2007 so try setting the partition volume to gpt and the target system to uefi (non-csm)

[ivory orbit]

yes it is

so like this?

[exotic hound]

ye, set it to flash and just wait i guess

[ivory orbit]

set what to flash?

[exotic hound]

the uh iso, just press the START button

[ivory orbit]

aight

[exotic hound]

while you wait, i remember trying rufus and it not working the first time, might just be a me problem but if it doesn't work for you try ventoy or balena etcher

[ivory orbit]

alright ill use ventoy

@short furnace hey man sorry but is this right

[short furnace]

just say yes to everything rufus asks

[ivory orbit]

alrighty

[short furnace]

that's it.

then give it like 7 minutes to flash

and dont touch the usb. not even with a feather

[ivory orbit]

it says unable to assigne drive letter or somethinh

[short furnace]

close it

use ventoy. follow the guide in #1295728709306683482 for settting up

FFS

[ivory orbit]

aight

my mistake im just used to using rufus

[short furnace]

#1383493960474955930 message

[ivory orbit]

yeap im doing it rn

[short furnace]

give it lots of time to copy over

[ivory orbit]

yes

ill wait like 5 mins

[short furnace]

and a full minute to rest, once it says finished copying

[ivory orbit]

alright

it should be good now

[short furnace]

do u got 7 zip?

@ivory orbit

[ivory orbit]

yeap

i verified it

[short furnace]

right click on the ISO file on the ventoy usb stick now.

[ivory orbit]

ok

[short furnace]

and verify again.

and ensure it matches the official sum

[blissful hearth]

you can also check it from within ventoy

[ivory orbit]

how do i do that?

[blissful hearth]

its somewhere in the menu

[ivory orbit]

generate vtsi file?

[blissful hearth]

look for checksum/verification

[short furnace]

for FUCKS SAKES

just use 7 zip like u did before

[ivory orbit]

yeah i did

[short furnace]

if it matches , boot it and choose the install alongside option

dont proceed if that option isnt there

[ivory orbit]

oh

they dont match

[short furnace]

delete the iso off usb, and recopy the KNOWN-GOOD one

[ivory orbit]

i compare them with these right

SHA256: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
cause its not the same for me

also im on web cause discord no longer works

[blissful hearth]

thats the exact hash of an empty file

you didnt copy it properly

[blissful hearth]

(yes i basically memorized it dont ask)

[ivory orbit]

ah man

ill just reinstall

[short furnace]

what iso version?

u showed the listings for 22

get the RIGHT LISTINGS!!! F

[blissful hearth]

that wouldnt solve it, they didnt even copy the file

[ivory orbit]

alright

i just checked

turns out the iso file randomly became empty

i redownloaded it again and checked its alright

[blissful hearth]

thats what i said

[ivory orbit]

copying it to the pen drive rn

[ivory orbit]

yea

[short furnace]

and verify against THE CORRECT OFFICIAL LISTINGS

[ivory orbit]

well i just realizde that i downloaded 22

not 22.2

that shouldnt be a problem right

[short furnace]

get the proper 22.2 ISO!

[ivory orbit]

alright

[short furnace]

you had it here. where the fuck is it now?

[blissful hearth]

if you want the 22 version, it isnt. if you want the latest one, get 22.2

[ivory orbit]

i redownloaded the wrong version

[ivory orbit]

randomly became empty

[short furnace]

on your C: downloads folder, the original 22.2 one is not there?

[blissful hearth]

it was already empty in here

[short furnace]

and it should be around 3 gigs

[ivory orbit]

this should work

right

this is the correct version

[ivory orbit]

it is but its empty for some unknown reason

[blissful hearth]

the original one or the copy

[ivory orbit]

the original one

[blissful hearth]

hmm

[short furnace]

probably corrupted from that weirdass partition shrink - which should have been DONE IN PE MODE

this is why dualbooting really isnt the option

not the easy ass option anyway

[ivory orbit]

i did do it in pe mode

[short furnace]

so it rebooted into a black screen environment?

with a central small white window?

[ivory orbit]

yeah

wait wym

[short furnace]

that's how AOMEI WORKS

in f'n PE MODE

https://tenor.com/view/shonli-black-man-in-suit-black-gif-3928070010787101589

[short furnace]

if u do it in user environment, u risk disk corruption

[ivory orbit]

alright

[short furnace]

anyway carry on

[ivory orbit]

yeah

all good it copied correctly i just verified

so now

i boot into linux

[short furnace]

if it matches , boot it and choose the install alongside option
dont proceed if that option isnt there

[ivory orbit]

this is what my bios looks like

uhhh

[short furnace]

reboot and press F9

[ivory orbit]

sandisk rights

right

braaahhh

yea that didnt work

[short furnace]

The uefi usb

[ivory orbit]

i did

[short furnace]

back to windows

[ivory orbit]

ididnt take a picture sorry

im back on window

[short furnace]

show your ventoy setup in the ventoy installer

[ivory orbit]

windows

[ivory orbit]

wdym

[short furnace]

good.

disable secure boot

[ivory orbit]

fuck man atp i might just do a clean install

[ivory orbit]

from ventoy?

[short furnace]

if u got a blue screen that means either secure boot must enrol ventoy

or turn secure boot off IN THE BIOS SETTINGS

[ivory orbit]

ohhh

[short furnace]
