<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I have been fighting with this for several hours now and I feel pretty lost. I don't even know how to describe it in short.</div><div><br></div><div>So I am describing all I have managed to find out in the hope that someone will have some idea or suggestion.<br></div><br><div>I have a Lenovo ideapad on which I had Windows 10 and I think Ubuntu (about 8 month ago, so probably 18.10 or 19.04). As I recall I installed them dual boot, but as it was not my computer only the Windows was used. The built-in video camera did not work so today, following the instruction of the automated hardware check of Lenovo I ran the BIOS upgrade program.</div><div><br></div><div>Since then I cannot boot the system, it does not even seem to recognize the harddisk properly.</div><div><br></div><div>Before the flash I looked at the Boot section in the BIOS and as I recall it had 3 interesting options</div><div>ubuntu</div><div>something Windows (I don't recall the exact name)<br></div><div>ATA HDD: SAMSUNG ....</div><div>and a few about USD HDD/USE CD etc.</div><div><br></div><div>now when I enter the BIOS I don't see the one that had Windows in its name.</div><div>This seems like a problem :(</div><div><br></div><div>------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>If I set the "ATA HDD" as the first on the boot order I see "System bootloader not found"</div><div>and then it reboots automatically. It also seems to set the boot-order back to</div><div><br></div><div>1. ubuntu</div><div>2. ATA HDD: SAMSUNG ....</div><div>...</div><div><br></div><div>When I boot now it automatically gets into the grub cli:</div><div><br></div><div>grub></div><div><br></div><div>grub> ls</div><div>(hd0) (hd0,gpt5) (hd0,gpt4) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1)</div><div><br></div><div>grub> ls (hd0)</div><div>Filesystem is unknown</div><div><br></div><div>same with all the others except <br></div><div><div>grub> ls (hd0,gpt2)</div><div>Filesystem is fat.</div><div><br></div><div><div>grub> ls (hd0,gpt2)/</div><div>efi/ System Volume Information/</div><div><br></div><div>This is the same as <br></div><div>grub> ls /</div><div><br></div><div>I have no idea what to do with this. I guess I need to find the /boot somewhere, but so far I could not find it. Any ideas here?</div><div><br></div><div>---------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>Booting from disk on key:</div><div>I found a disk on key with Ubuntu 18.10 on it.</div><div>After plugging in and changing the boot order in the BIOS I managed to boot from it.</div><div>I could even connect to the wifi, but I don't know how to access the harddisk of the computer.</div><div><br></div><div>sudo lsblk shows me</div><div><br></div>NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT<br>
