I agree that was inappropriate, but it won’t work, on newer versions you have to pass --no-preserve-root to rm if you want to delete /

There is a single hard disk but my computer comes with Intel optane, which seems to need RST. It has worked fine so far, maybe because of it not being multiple actual disks.

Its happened to me. I just delete and repost which makes it work, which seems to mean it shouldnt take that long at all.

Thanks for your answer. I will look into secure boot.

I don’t want to customize the boot menu. Its just that in the boot order list grub shows up as a bunch of gibberish (see right above the entry for the windows bootloader). Im worried that this might mean something is wrong. If it can get the name of the windows bootloader properly it should with grub too.

(And you guessed right, its acer)

Sadly I dont know when it was added or if it can be turned off, Im not very familiar with it.

I don’t know how to link to posts but see my profile, I gave it my own twist :)

The Ubuntu guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/rst ) and comments on stackexchange claim its possible, maybe it wasnt in the past. It hasnt worked for me, Ive given up and am going to reinstall windows like you suggested.
