Ubuntu Operating System Error on Windows

I recently replaced the graphics card in my computer, switched the case, and applied new thermal paste; that is everything that I did. Strangely enough, when I booted my computer back up, at the BIOS screen I got this error:



enter image description here



Now, I know that this issue comes in Linux when it can't mount a partition. The things is, my computer doesn't use Linux; it uses Windows 10. I did have Ubuntu installed on this hard drive at one point, but then I completely erased the partition in order to install Windows. I never got this error before, and it seems so strange that this only happened when I replaced a couple non-hardrive-related parts. What on earth happened?

    Did you change from UEFI boot to BIOS boot? Or do you have EasyBCD installed to boot Linux which uses grub4dos based on grub legacy? The error message is from grub legacy. Ubuntu has used grub2 since about 2010, so either an old BIOS install or EasyBCD trying to boot. Believe the old error 17 is partition not found as you know.

  • @oldfred Well, it is indeed an older version of Ubuntu -- so it used grub, not grub2; I simply put grub2 because it's grub-related, and there's no "grub" option. But see, the issue is that the Ubuntu error shouldn't occur in the first place. I completely wiped Ubuntu from the computer before installing windows, and windows worked completely fine until I replaced those pieces of hardware; that is the oddity of the issue.

    If older computer, is BIOS set to boot from first drive. And if you have more than one drive, you could have had grub boot loader in one drive and Windows boot loader in other drive. Then if drives not in same order, default boot drive changed.

    You might have better luck reinstalling WIndows' boot loader instead of relying on whatever Ubuntu left over on your disk. superuser.com/questions/949219/… is one option.

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
