Can I renew a Win10/L-Mint dual boot without reinstalling Mint?
by KaisoMod from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5SQ0C)
I recently did up a Win10/L-Mint dual boot on my i7 Lenovo Ideapad 710s. Later I foolishly updated everything including the BIOS. However,it sailed during the BIOS update. Sometimes I could the the machine to start in Mint or Win. Sometimes not with a "BIOS capsule ....reflash Bios error."
When Win 10 next loaded correctly21, I did a successful BIOS flash. Neither OS would then start. I reinstalled Win 10 and it seems to work well now including the problematic built-in Camera. I'm wondering if I can somehow get Mint to work again without reinstalling? Some sort of boot fix? I did a lot more work on the Mint install, adding apps, google drive access, etc., and I'd hate to have to doe it again.
I wondering if the Mint boot problem might just be a screwed up file or path reference? Thoughts? Suggestions?
