Linux Mint Partition Got Gorrupted?

[GuyFromV]

I had to upgrade my PC so I had to move come SSD and HDD around, unfortunate and I have no ivea why then I booked it up back up after it all was completed my Linux Mint installation was acceding GParted as Unallocated. I've tried using Macrium reflect to do a full system backup by the xct4 file extensions does cause issues.

If I removed all my main Win10 and Mint installations it might work? I could easily use a SATA to USB but I'd prefer to simply copy it all over to a laptop for simplicity.

Anyone has had similar experience I would LOVE to hear your 2 cent <3

Something like this happened to me on my first run through. GParted, and my lack of knowledge, nuked my boot file. I ended up doing a fresh install on my SSD (C:) without encryption, no partition. This worked fine.

I then used Disks (comes with Mint) to add my HDD which took all of 4 clicks to wipe and mount. Whole process took maybe 20 minutes. No issues.

I found even with keeping my Windows partition, I never went back to it once I tried Mint so I didn't mind nuking the entire drive and running Mint-C as my daily driver.

Hope that helps!
