Trapped in the situation and stuck inside 😩
It looks like the system isn’t loading properly. After removing your Lubuntu partition, the issue persists. You tried using a live USB to check for errors, which came back normal. Since you're not familiar with Ubuntu, consider reinstalling it from a clean source or following a step-by-step guide to avoid confusion.
Whenever my laptop encounters this kind of issue, I have to reinstall it. Do you have a bootable USB? If I’m right, it’s probably a bootloader for multiple operating systems like Windows and Ubuntu on the same drive—can’t assist further beyond that.
I can't reinstall Windows without risking my personal data, so I might need to wipe the drive first. I've checked most of the solutions Google offered, but I'm now relying on this forum. Lol
It's unexpected that modern Windows versions lack a straightforward way to fix the bootloader without a full reinstall. This shouldn't be complicated—people have found solutions online. The searches for "Windows 10 restore boot sector" or "Windows 10 restore boot EFI" often yield helpful results.
I’ve completed that already, but I’ll attempt it once more. Thanks.
It’s likely the bootloader was affected by your action. Have you attempted a live boot and executed "update-grub" to check? You should be able to reach your Windows data on Linux without issues (unless encryption is involved), making backups straightforward.
You might have lost everything if you removed the partition table. It seems the EFI partition is still present, along with the MSDO partitions.
You're encountering a Windows error 0x000000f during boot from a Windows 10 Live USB. To resolve this, you may need to update GRUB using Lubuntu. Regarding your setup, yes, it's possible to install Windows on a separate drive, transfer files from the current drive, and use the backup drive as the boot device.
Check the contents of those MSDos partitions—it doesn’t seem like a full Linux or Windows setup. A good approach is to use an Ubuntu live CD and try mounting them. You might be in trouble if this happens. It’s time to recover your backup, don’t you think?
I'm fine with a fresh Windows setup. If necessary, I'll remove everything I don't need.
