I'm guessing sda3 was a windows partition?

#

@terse ether

terse ether
#

yes iirc

uncut eagle
#

If you're removing windows, you don't really need sda2 either, although it's tiny

#

So... what happens when you try to boot?

terse ether
#

saying go to recovery enviorment or use installation media

uncut eagle
#

Open the terminal and type

mokutil --sb-state

what does it say?

terse ether
#

secure boot disabled

#

i disabled it trying to get ulli to work

uncut eagle
#

Can you photo the blue screen please?

terse ether
#

no phone

uncut eagle
#

It kinda sounds like a windows boot manager leftover, check the bios menu (boot tab) if you have other boot options (may be called grub or ubuntu)

terse ether
#

like there is linux mint then below it is ubuntu

uncut eagle
#

Try booting there

terse ether
#

i am in the linux mint now

uncut eagle
#

Alright, open the terminal there and show what does

efibootmgr

says?

terse ether
uncut eagle
#

Ok, type

sudo efibootmgr -o 0000,0001,0004,0005,0008,0003,0002

Restart and then check if it boots in mint normally.

#

@terse ether

terse ether
#

whole pc crashed for a long bit

uncut eagle
#

Well you were in mint, so I gave further instructions

#

Where are you now?

terse ether
#

it failed first time but after entering recovery enviorment its working

uncut eagle
#

what does

efibootmgr

say now?

terse ether
uncut eagle
#

ok, does it boot fine now?
