Asked By TechieTurtle92 On

Hey everyone, I need some urgent help! I was using a portable Ubuntu to erase a couple of hard drives, including an external HDD and a Samsung NVMe SSD. I didn't touch my Windows drive at all, which is a 1TB WD Blue SN580, and all partitions seem fine. However, I can't access its files with Ubuntu because it's formatted to NTFS. After shutting down Ubuntu and unplugging the media, my PC froze on the loading screen, and now I can't detect my Windows Boot Manager. I can only boot from USB or my network card. What should I do?

Have you checked if your Windows drive still has a drive letter assigned? Sometimes it gets removed, which can cause issues. If you have a Windows installation USB, that might help you troubleshoot further.

What kind of partitions do you have on your system drive? If you had other drives connected during your Windows installation, it's possible the EFI partition ended up on the wrong drive. If you accidentally formatted that drive, your OS wouldn't boot.
