Xubuntu is sweet man.

>something something I fucked up simple stuff
>What should i do /g/?
Probably not, worst case unplug one of the HDs so you don't fuck up again since you don't know where you install what from what it seems.

>>56965620
i have only one HDD plugged at a time

do you think if i plug in both hdd at the same time, and reinstalling linux, the bios problem will fix itself?

>>56965573
install gentoo

>>56965707
my neckbeard doesn't quit reach the floor, yet somehow i can't see how that will change anything

besides i have already tried 3 different distributions

>>56965620
also, i have partitionned many hdd in the past (oh sweet middle school past where i tried so many different linux distros)

so i believe my problem is limited to the bios (but i may be wrong)

if you had a single disk installed originally, and you had a single other disk installed when you installed xubuntu, then windows will be fully intact, you just need to tell your bios to boot from that, or, configure grub on your linux disk to provide a boot entry to start windows from the other disk (normally this is done automatically, but naturally it can't set that up when your windows disk was not installed)

If you don't use uefi then it's literally a grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg away. it will autodetect all installed operating systems.
I have no clue how uefi works since my rig was built one year before uefi was mainstream.

>>56965807
Yes, that's precisely my problem, windows is intact, but i don't know how to set up my bios so that it can boot windows

Hijacking this thread for a question.

I also use Xubuntu but on a tablet and is there a way to turn long clicks into simulated right clicks?
So that when I touch a link for a second or two the right click menu pops up.

Is something like this possible in Xubuntu while being a total noob?

>>56965830
I don't have uefi because when i installed windows, the little bitch didn't want it

But thanks, i'll give it a try, i'll tell you how it went in ~30min

>>56965830
There are UEFI bootloaders that will auto grab all OSes on all drives. Clover is what I used.

Just look up dual boot Win10 Ubuntu and you will see several clear articles on how this works - ezpz

>>56965573
There is a thread for retarded questions like that...

the exact key to bring up the boot selection menu on your motherboard will be in your mother board manual, or possibly on the first screen it displays on boot up (POST)
however, it's commonly one of F9 through F12, so you could also just try those and see what happens

you can keep doing this, though it might be more convinient to have the linux bootloader (xubuntu comes with GRUB2) to show a windows option in addition to xubuntu
finding information on how to do this should be very easy, use google (though keep in mind the windows disk will need to be installed for it to be able to automatically find it when generating a new grub config file)

pic related, my desktop grub boot menu

>it's f11 form me, but it didn't show windows

>>56966280
can you confirm the windows disk is accessible while in xubuntu?
you should be able to mount and browse its files ootb

if you're using UEFI then i probably can't help you, i'm entirely unfamiliar with how that works

This shows up when i boot on the win hdd

I did >>56965830 's command
But no windows partition shows up on the boot menu

>>56966349
Try installing grub again
>grub-install /dev/sda (not sda1,2,3)
Make sure that this disk actually contains the boot partition
Also make sure that your mainboard tries to boot from this disk first.
>grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
run this while your linux install is running and make sure that boot is mounted in /boot and that it contains your kernel.
That thing should also mention what it has found on your system.

Rescatux and similar distros can fix GRUB/MBR automagically, if there is something left to be restored. :^)

tell your client fire up them backups
if they have none, tell them to fire up them wallets
if they have none, tell them to fire up them tear ducts
