    I was trying to dual boot and made a partition of 95gb. While installing Ubuntu the required partition was not visible there and the C drive got selected. Windows 11 was already there so I tried to delete the extra partition that got created within C drive. And when I restarted my laptop, screen appeared with "minimal Bash-like line editing is supported" written on it.
    Then I watched the video and changed the priority order of the boot. I also merged the unallocated memory to the c drive. But now whenever I restart , that "Minimal Bash-like" screen appears and I have to write the "exit" command to use Windows .
    Please tell me, what should I do

    • @itsfoss
      @itsfoss  Рік тому

      When you changed the priority order, you were able to boot normally, right? Can you not do it again and make the priority changes permanent?
      Alternatively, you can try to do a boot repair using Windows recovery options or using bootable Window USB.

    I want to basically uninstall my Linux partition to resize it since my Windows drive needs more room. Will the partition deletion also delete the boot manager? And will it allow for a clean reinstall of the distro?
    I figured resizing live partitions is either impossible or too complicated for a beginner to bother with.

    • @itsfoss

      If there is ESP partition separately, then the boot manager should not be impacted. You may clean install it later.

    • @itsfoss
      @itsfoss  Рік тому +1

      It should work the same as long as it is a UEFI system.
      If your purpose is to replace Mint Cinnamon with MATE, you can start the dual boot process and use the same partition as Mint Cinnamon for installing Mint MATE.
      As always, keep backup of data.
      Also, making a bootable Windows should not be that complicated.
      The more prepared you are, the safer it will be.

      On the same menu, the last option should allow you too boot into UEFI. Otherwise, you can press F2/F10/Del key when system boots to go into BIOS and change boot order.

      You can choose to delete the Ubuntu related files from EFI partition. That's teh reason you can see the Ubuntu entry in the BIOS boot options. Kind of tricky as it involves using Windows CMD. Since it doesn't obstruct anything, you may leave it as it is as long as your system boots into Windows by default on its own.

  • @TidusDX

    In Windows, you can reboot directly to UEFI with the following command:
    shutdown /r /fw /t 0
    '/fw' is the firmware switch for the command that allows reboot to UEFI. Doesn't work with legacy BIOS systems.
