My laptop is (maybe was) Linux and Windows 10 dual booted. I was reinstalling
the Linux OS and in the process I accidentally formatted the Windows 10 boot
partition. At least I think it is the boot partition because I don't really
know how Windows works (or doesn't work amirite).
This is the lsblk output:
$ lsblk -f
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL [...] MOUNTPOINTS
nvme1n1 zfs_member 5000 zroot [...]
├─nvme1n1p1 vfat FAT32 [...] /boot/efi
├─nvme1n1p2 swap 1 [...] [SWAP]
└─nvme1n1p3 zfs_member 5000 zroot [...]
nvme0n1
├─nvme0n1p1
└─nvme0n1p2 ntfs
The nvme0n1p1
is the one related to booting. I accidentally formatted it.
I have a Windows 10 USB prepared. I tried looking online and I never found
a question asking exactly for this. The ones I found that were similar enough
suggested different commands.
Anyone has experience with this?
Thanks in advance.
Yeah it is really weird how sparse the info is on this topic.
I have a terrible secret. I am a gam*r.
What kind of g*mer? Cuz it's possible to game on Linux nowadays. I've been exclusively gaming on Linux for the last 3 years and it is incredible.
Also I don't think
efibootmgr
can help if your boot files from Windows are gone from the boot partition.
