"oh, windows has managed to permanently bork an entire SATA controller and wipe my NVRAM. Neat. Lucky I have 2 controllers..."

fucking updates

Just gonna leave this here...
https://manjaro.org/

@SortOfTested fuck yall arch kernel, i'd soooner use ReactOS. (i'm forced to use windows for class, and also my machine doesn't seem to play nice with updates to GRUB, so i literally can't ever update the kernel or any distro i try dies thanks to shit EFI support on my mobo. My drive is 4TB so I do require GPT/EFI, as well...)

system restore point monday is a nice addition to patch tuesday.

edit: Wait, it's saturday, what?

@wannabe it was making zero-fill system restores so i disabled them. (Solution: "reinstall windows lol" as usual)

@Parzi I take it no roll backs from safemode, or any of the boot-recovery options working? I know I've had some luck with the windows recovery environment if it's not hardware specific related.

I mean, if you have a bad drive, doesn't matter what OS your running, and pray its not in raid 0 lol

@wannabe just had to redo NVRAM entries and swap controllers. Already doing other things on it lol (like typing this and backing up my hacked PS2's HDD.)

Windows, a piece of software.
How would that possibly bork a SATA controller?

@kescherRant Good question, wish I knew... an entire 6 port set now doesn't work. At all. BIOS sees nothing plugged into it, Linux doesn't see anything there either... all 6 ports in the set are boned.

@Parzi I'm implying that it may just be hardware fault unrelated to OS. I do hate Windows, too, but that seems unreasonable.

@kescherRant i mean could be but considering new updates...
