thats why i formated the windows partitions on my laptop last week

I entirely avoided this issue ever since I started to mess with Linux with separate drives, and then brought in a litany of other issues by me whenever I wanted to wipe and reinstall windows or Linux.

I don’t know if this is a new meme format or not, but I’ve enjoyed seeing it on my feed today

Best bit is Windows couldn’t boot for me either (all bios entries were empty). I’m glad I had a live USB laying around.

I’m not gonna fire up Windows (Update) for this, but shouldn’t the bootloader handle this?

I’ve never actually had this problem, but the issue is Windows will wipe your bootloader from the ESP, so it can’t do anything about it. You can use your bootloader of choice to fix it, but you’d have to chroot from a live image.

Ziglin ,

Sounds about right. In my case I think it didn’t even wipe the whole thing.

I just don’t understand why they share EFI partitions.
