You were trying to install Linux alongside Windows 10, but things went wrong. Now you're about to erase your Linux drive and start over, hoping someone can walk you through it step by step like you're really confused. It's frustrating, but I'm here to help you understand the basics.
Which distribution are you attempting to set up? If you have an additional storage device, it’s best to avoid dual-booting entirely; place Windows on one drive and Linux on the other, then choose your preferred operating system from the BIOS startup menu. This method is more straightforward and reduces potential issues.
Do you run these Linux installations inside virtual machines or perform complete system installations?
It's pretty impressive you managed to adjust your Windows partition multiple times without any issues.
It seems unusual; please retry. When installing an OS, ensure the other drive is removed to prevent any mix-up.
I tried it the first time, but somehow my MSI X470 Carbon BIOS didn’t recognize the Windows drive in boot priority. I kept searching until I found advanced boot settings, changed my fixed boot priority, opened Windows, and when I tried to switch back to Ubuntu, I ended up stuck in the Ubuntu setup menu. No matter what I selected, I kept getting boot error codes. I’m currently at college.
