Hello /wsr/

I have Windows 10 installed on my computer, and had a partition on my hard drive with crunchbang Linux installed from a live USB. Because I had some time on my hands and crunchbang is no longer supported, I thought I'd give Fedora a try.

Instead of writing the ISO on a flash drive and booting from this, I mistakenly wrote it to my old Linux partition. Now i cannot boot Linux or Windows - grub does not recognize my windows partition (unknown file system) and it will not boot Linux because it says the kernel must be loaded first (which I have tried unsuccessfully).

Any thoughts / help would be greatly appreciated. As of now I can only access the BIOS.

that messed up the partition table (over wrote the existing table with the one from the iso). you have now lost both installs. format and start over.

Sth


Thanks. so when I boot from a USB and reinstall, I shouldn't be too worried about overwriting the windows partition because it's already gone?

there might be some other partitions (like the system one) so use custom install and delete all the partitions
