Dear Windows,
All I wanted was for you to live in harmony with my Arch install on my laptop. I appreciate both of you guys for different reasons. You guys did okay for for 2 weeks. Then, when I was using you, you blue screened quickly and rebooted.
On reboot, the BIOS couldn't boot. I reboot again, but instead of my normal GRUB menu, it just goes straight to you. I call for Arch, but only you responded.
I understand you are a bit possessive, but you really need to learn to play with others.

You are in time out until your brother is fixed. Now nobody is happy.

    @netctl Both entries were in a grub, but I think a windows update erased my grub file.

    @devTea They have been installed together for a year and this is the first time this has happened. That's why this is so bizarre for me.

    Whenever windows has an update , this happens and I have to boot to Linux via refind and rename my refind boot loader to windows.

    (I have a stupid Sony vaio that refuses to boot into anything but windows)

    Windows sees linux.
    Windows overwrites linux.

    that's why I have put them in separate hard disks
    i couldn't afford any crash or error of the partitoning
    so now I have free choice and I like it😎
    now I'm trying to get used to linux mint and so far it's ... ok. little hurdles here/there but for the most part alright 😏

    @irene unfortunately my laptop only has one drive. :( I would use Linux exclusively, but my wife uses the computer

    I follow this on my desktop though.
