Virtual machines exist you dumb fagoot

thanks for saying you're retarded and not using a separate hard drive to test with

don't do this

>>create a partition
anon, you just had empty space on your disk ready to create a partition with? or did you skip mentioning some steps here because you knew everyone could call them out as objectively dumb?

>>106166486 (OP)
Before you do that, look into repairing your Windows bootloader

Linux saved your ass

Golly gee jeepers anon who could've guessed it

Imagine not using qemu or winntsetup (for windows) to install your OS

I always keep backup images, because slight changes could brick the entire OS, truly a niggerhell experience even when not installing to physical disk

>>106166486 (OP)
What didn't you like about Mint compared to Windows?

>>106166532
Basically this. What else did you expect?

>>106166486 (OP)
>not installing every os on different drives that are always physically separated from eachother
you only have yourself to blame

>>106166486 (OP)

You're a fucking faggot.

And to think I was considering dedicated half of my laptop HDD to Mint so I could test Wine stuff easier.

>>106166486 (OP)
>backuping
backing up?

bootrec /fixmbr

Probably fucked yourself by digging around btw.

OP here i don't like using all available disk space because i don't want to overwork the gnomes inside my personal computation device. they get angry and i don't want to repeat my mistake twice

What’s is wrong with using a partition?
In windows there’s even a built in tool to resize file systems and create a partition

>>106166486 (OP)
This is exactly why everyone locks Troonix inside a VM. It's ALWAYS been like this, breaking the previous OS in any and every way it can.
If you let Loontroon OS see your physical Windows partition in any way, you WILL get problems.

>>106166486 (OP)
>prepare a usb with mint
There's your first problem.

>>106166486 (OP)
Is this always the same guy complaining? Its like once a week some absolutely incompetent windows user shits himself while installing mint.

>>106166486 (OP)
>>create a partition
there's your problem brainlet, use a 2nd ssd, or install it in VM

>>106166486 (OP)
it's the linux experience. i have to clear .cache every a couple of months because something starts to freeze

There's nothing wrong with it - except Linux destroys anything Windows-adjacent it can see, by very design, then try to pretend Windows did it.
It's why /g/ is filled with so many posts/threads that boil down to
>hurr durr my winblows blew up m$ sux
>yes i dual boot linux how did you know

>>106172680
>he said unironically
>as his pirated windows install updated bootmgr and he cried "herp winblows deleted muh troonix derp"
Freetard projection at its finest.
