Thanks Windows for deleting my entire fucking Ubuntu partition in your latest update. I didnt really need any of those projects I was working on. It's not like I have deadlines or anything.

PS.
Go fuck yourself

No backups though?

You mean the anniversary update? Then its not gone. The partition just doesn't show up. Rollback the Windows update and your partition will show up again. Same thing happened to me. Look it up , you will see a bunch of people with the same mysterious issue.

Windows update don't delete my Arch (Or I just lucky xD)(Anyway, this sound scary so I might clean install my laptop with Arch only)

Wohoo a new rm -rf joke for windows systems
Sry, just kidding 😂

Are u sure that you lose you ubuntu partition? Maybe u only need reinstall your grub

@eorono
My thoughts too.

Even if the partition seems gone, it's probably still there, just not in the partition table. You can usually recover it with testdisk (from live iso).
(unless windows spent the 2h "applying updates" screen zeroing out your drive)

He just lost its grub, chill out

I tried reinstalling the grub but it still only boots directly to windows (even when I specify Ubuntu) however I was able to boot into a live cd and copy off everything important. I thought it was gone initially because disk management was showing the partition as unallocated

@billgates compensate this here legend!

@jamiek94 nice feature tho

MS.
Go fuck yourself.

To all the MS haters, Go F Yourself. You lack the basic knowledge of an OS (as a dev).

Your fault you lost your projects because of no version control

Windows deleted the Ubuntu partition but not arch... I see what they did there...

@RodrigoF Hard code OS, Distro name ? xD

@CSaratakij it's like... We don't whant you to use Linux, Windows 10 is the best OS in the galaxy...
(joking, Microsoft supports Linux)

Windows... Why??
Why not Linux only
Problem solved

@Kongen as a fellow Linux user, I ask you to not post things like this. It's not going to convince anyone to switch and it makes the Linux community look like a bunch of assholes to outsiders.

I just had the urge to back it all up

google about boot repair

Hopefully window wont format partition that it doesn't know about xp go dl systemrescuecd and check your boot, but if you got an efi system it should simply be your efibootmgr window position which had been swapped with your grub.

In most modern laptops and pcs you need to disable the safeboot to not boot directly into windows but go to grub. It happened to me that windows updates and bios updates re-enabled it (going into bios to change that fixed everything and grub was already fine afterwards).

I never ever experienced windows updates to act in any way over partitions not containing windows OS files.

Windows: Oh stop it You. Tsundere chan
