    Hi!

    As the title says I installed most recent elementary os on my pc. Unfortunately it was very complicated.

    The setup before installation: Windows 10 was running on sda1, on sdb2 I have a 3tb disk to store files and work. sdc was also there but rarely used. Therefor I planned to install elementary on sdc3.
    During installation I realized Windows had some partition on sdc3 (about 500MB) but also, same size, on sda2 (with sda1 beeing the partition where the data is stored on). I tried installing elementary on sdc with an efi partition... but as expected no luck.

    What I did to get a working elementary / Situation now: I really wanted to get elementary on sdc and tidy up that messy installation. Therefore I deleted the windows partition on sdc, hoping I can reference from grub to sda1.
    First issue was: Grub was giving me no menu. So I edited /etc/default/grub. It looks like this now:


    Now I have added an entry in grub. 40_custom_proxy:


    This uuid leads to sda2 (that one with about 500mb). Grub tells me upon choosing it that I have no such directory (also tried it with sda1 but this one didn't work either).

    As you might see I am not too expierienced with grub but I looked some things and I guess those solutions should work, right? That also means the partition on sdc was the windows bootloader... right?

    How should I procees from here on out? Make a Windows USB start disk? Repair the Windows bootloader? Will that kill grub so I need to reinstall it with a live-usb?

    Thanks for any hints!

    if you want repair the bootloader of win10:
    CMD: system32>bootsect /nt60 c: /mbr (space between c: /)

    If you have win-11:

    1) CMD (run as administrator)
    2) type bcdedit /enum firmware
    3)Now you'll see a list
    4) To delete entries you don't want
    type bcdedit /delete identifier where the identifier is shown in your list. Include the sigiddly braces { }

    example: bcdedit /delete {89234932-3298239-...........}
