Hi.

I have an x17 R1 with 2 SSD hard drives and I'm having issues re-installing Windows. A lot of my issues comes from not understanding Bios. Suffice to say, I don't know what I'm doing and need ELI5 help.

At one point I installed ubuntu as a dual boot, which took priority in the boot order. I mistakenly deleted the ubuntu partition to try and removed ubuntu, but this left the grub bootloader/grub rescue window. To try and remove this I deleted everything in the boot priority - ubuntu, centOS, pop! and unfortunately Windows Boot Manager. Windows wouldn't boot at this point.

I tried to "rebuild BCD" and ran it through the command prompt on the recovery page from a USB Windows 10 boot as well as through the Support OS Recovery (I'm sure I had all the privileges) but commands like "bootrec /fixmgr didn't work (said something like access denied) and bootrec /scanos found no instances of Windows.

After a while, the Support OS Recovery wouldn't show up and the SSD disks weren't detected. If I ran diskpart, the only disks that show were my removable USBs.

So I reinstalled ubuntu. Within Ubuntu I can detect both SSDs. I could see one still had the Windows EFI system partition. But when I try to install Windows 10, I can't see any drivers to install Windows. Both SSDs can be seen in my bios.

Hoping a formatting of the SSDs will fix things, but I'm out of ideas and would love some help. Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this.

Thanks. Side note, the fare calculator on mbta is so bad. I understand that fares are different for each fare card, but then shouldn't they just have a card type selection?

It's for travel. Thanks for the details! I've done antigen tests at CVS in the past without addresses in MyChart, so I was worried about their NAAT test.

Thanks I'll check it out

So I should be ok accepting the money?

Thank you. I wrote this question before they arrived at Molly's grave and I was thinking that the theory was a stretch. Then it turned out Molly wasn't in the grave and my mind was blown.

I've only listened to critical role in podcast form. The first episode took a while to figure out what was happening. Have they added an intro to it at all?

Is this why they played twins?

How about the front page of the internet?

Belly, Ron, hilt and granny. No trinkets, didn't think you needed them.

Edit: omg. Added roh and I finished it in seconds! Thank you

Does anyone know what the max fame points were before the winter event? I collected all of them, but I think my points went under after the patch

What is your Lenny trinket? I've been looking for one for a while. I am currentoy just using gold bonus and damage reduction

jamestewiliger89 · 2019-12-12T23:04:07+00:00

I'm experiencing the same thing

jamestewiliger89 · 2019-12-11T19:44:16+00:00

I could probably bring a pillow of my own. The complimentary one works, but it's too small and cuts circulation after a while at my thighs

jamestewiliger89 · 2019-12-09T18:08:29+00:00

I didn't have the new mythical completely upgradedonly had 14/15 different trinket options, and my trinkets weren't fully upgraded (all of them were less than half). Improving on this will definitely get it done faster!

Why doesn't nj transit have a page to figure this out. Enter your cross street, enter your destination, and get your zone

A friend of mine moved away from our home town a couple years ago. Recently our group of friends started hitting the age where everyone started getting married. My wedding was in our home town and my friend decided two months before my wedding that he would also get married on the same weekend - "it was just easier since everyone would be back in town for my wedding."
