A read of https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_boot_with_Windows may be interesting, despite it being Arch Linux. One issue the whether the disk is now MBR or UEFI formatted. The page covers finding out what Windows thinks and configuring dual-boot with Linux going first. They may give some pointers of what to examine. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2024-01-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
