Trying to setup windows 10/ ubuntu dualboot. now it won't go past mobo bios [closed]
I'm trying to setup dualboot, and i've been having issues ever since I started. I thought maybe the old drive that I used before I got an ssd was the issue. as I didn't bother taking windows off it. So I dumped all my important stuff to the third drive I had on the system and repartitioned it entirely. I then uninstalled rEFInd (or tried to) and I kept on getting kicked back to it. To be safe I removed the partition that refind was in, and now I cant get past the bios... no windows no ubuntu.... please help :(

It sounds like the MBR is either deleted or corrupted. You can try to pop in a Windows Startup Repair CD and select it to automatically repair startup. This should re create the Windows Boot Loader and at least get you into your Windows installation. Back when I dual-booted Windows and Kali Linux, I had to delete the SYSTEM RESERVED partition which holds the Windows Boot Loader AND Startup Repair. I deleted that partition in order to free up at least one partition on my MBR laptop and create an EXTENDED PARTITION for linux. Anyway, I used a Startup Repair disk that you can create inside Windows with a CD and used the automated startup repair to recreate the MBR. Windows booted right up. Although you will have to somehow get into a Live USB linux and flag the Windows Partition as bootable.
