  4. recently i went from windows ten to linux mint then same day tried to change back

    Unable to access Windows after installed Linux Mint

    Hello

    So I installed Linux Mint on my laptop alongside Windows 11. Initially it was working well but I noticed that the Root drive for Linux was already full and I couldn't resize it. So I decide to unistall it and reinstall with bigher margins of space in all Linux partitions. Thisis where I messed something up. I accidentally deleted Windows boot files partition and immediately received Boot Device missing error upon restarting my computer. I figured I could create a bootable windows installation USB through Linux, so reinstalled Linux, created a bootable Windows device but somehow it is not recognizing the earlier version of Windows and unable to solve the problem.

    I have tried other solution mentioned here like- Diskpart -> list drive -> list partition -> No partitions found

    I have tried bootrec commands too, I get Element Not found as well no windows installation found

    In Linux when I run sudo fdisk -l, I can see the drive where Microsoft files are saved. But I see 3 partitions for EFI.

    Kindly suggest help!

    Thanks
