When you set up Linux previously, you likely had a USB stick handy for installation. You might have used it to start the system and run Boot-Repair to resolve boot issues. I don’t know if you can create a bootable Linux USB from an iPad or Android device—it seems possible on those platforms too.
Your laptop runs Windows, so you can use a Windows USB drive to install updates or repair files. It’s similar to using a USB drive for another OS, just with Windows-specific tools.
Yes, you might be able to build a bootable Windows drive using a Linux USB if you have an extra spare USB. You need to locate a Windows ISO file from their website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software.../windows11. Using Ventoy, you can write the installation media onto another USB and start recovery mode, open Command Prompt via Advanced Options, then execute bootrec /rebuildbcd.
However, it might be wise to try booting again via the USB stick. If that works, you could back up or clone your SSDs onto another external drive just in case something fails. This way, data remains safe.
Start by launching your PC again through the Linux USB disk. If successful, it indicates there are no significant hardware problems, allowing you to proceed. Once booted, open a file manager and verify if your SSDs are accessible. If they read correctly, connect an external drive and copy relevant files. To prevent further issues, always back up important data at the first chance. It's surprising you used that drive for seven years without backing it up.
I've attempted to start from USB again. The same problem persists—displays the green mint logo but nothing happens. It seems my laptop is severely damaged; it lights up briefly and I can't reach the BIOS.
Unbelievable... The G502 hero stands out as the top mouse ever... If you're certain it came straight from Logitech, reach out to them; otherwise, consider checking Amazon.
