Glad its workin now-

Speaking of magically starting to work, I did a macrium reflect clone of my dual boot drive, windows 10 and Linux mint- (both were offline) and went to plug it in and lost my Linux grub menu and could only boot to windows.

I spent days, hour upon hour trying to figure out how to get the grub menu back- to no avail. I even finally got up at 1 am last night and tried something else, for 3 hours- didn’t work, would not boot to grub menu. I knew Linux was there, but there was no getting to it

Anyway, long story short- I unplugged the drive, put my old one back in, went to bed. Got up this am and put the new drive back in to check on somehting I had thought of during the owning hours, and lo and behold the grub menu was back and could boot to Linux and windows

I have NO IDEA how or why it all of a sudden started working.

I hate computers lol

My attitude towards computers is exactly the same as Oddball's attitudes towards tanks ...

When asked why he wasn't helping his crew to repair the tank, he replied ...

"Oh, man, I just ride in 'em. I don't know what makes 'em work."
