Grub see windows as sdb1 file system see it as sdb2
by arranskye from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DXEY)
Started this new thread as the previous shambles was too convoluted. In the end decided to resinstall Ubunto 20.04 LTS never though to check windows disks. Windows previously sdb 1 and sdb2
The situation now is
windows in Grub sdb2 windows in file system sdb1
sudo blkid | grep UUID=
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="0AAA3702AA36EA39" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="3767dd0a-01"
/dev/sdb2: UUID="EEF03A41F03A0FF7" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="3767dd0a-02"
update Grub
sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg'

done
Can this be fixed by Fstab, text edit,remounts or live windows or Ubuntu disks
If not should I reinstall windows or ubuntu which would be most effective and easy/fast to correct
Thank you
