Marked XP as my default and deleted Win 7 entry.Ģ. The bad news is that I have reinstalled all my programmes last week and would love to be able to recover the partitions without having to reinstall windows.I had a tri boot of Win 7 /XP and Mint.I was using EasyBCD 2.0 as a boot manager.I booted Mint by configuring the NeoGrub option in Easy BCD.I wanted to uninstall Win 7 and so what I did was the followingġ. The good news is that I can access my data when I boot on the live USB stick. Here is the message I have when I launch boot-repair.
What is weird is that the partitions don't have the same size if I look into Gparted or in the disk manager.
I have now 2 unallocated partitions when I open gparted, and I don’t know if the solution is to create a partition from them. The dual boot menu is back, but I have an error message for both Windows (0xc0000225) and Linux (kernel panic 0x101/0x2e3 – not syncing VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)). I created a new partition table though with those 4 partitions, hoping that it could solve the problem. So I read more about it, launched testdisk again, but even after a deep search I could only find 4 of the 6 partitions I had. When I booted via the USB stick, I could see that I had only one big unallocated partition whereas I had 6 before launching testdisk. I don’t know exactly what was my mistake, but it was a big one, as after having restarted the computer, I couldn’t boot at all. So I booted with a live USB and launched testdisk. So I started to look for some information on forums and I read about using to restore a partition with testdisk.
But then when I booted on Linux the screen froze after some time and I had to shut down the computer. Then when I booted on Windows, I could see that I had a unallocated partition and so I increased the size of Windows partition without any issue. I waited for a few hours, but had no choice but to force the shut down. While I was reducing the size of the Linux partition with Gparted, the computer froze at around 96%. I have an Asus X556UQ on dual boot with Win10 and Linux Mint 20.3 (on separate partitions). I am a totally newbie to Linux so sorry if I don't use the right language.
