Installed Debian Linux -

Several months ago I installed Debian Linux on my Windows 10 computer with dual (multiple) boot. The systems were working well together where I could select and boot into either Debian or Windows from the Debian GRUB selection screen. In the past week, I updated Debian with the latest LTS version. I installed the latest version of Debian from on ISO on a bootable USB flash drive. When I did so, I deleted the previous Debian partitions that existed on a 2nd hard drive, where Debian had been installed, and installed the new version of Debian on the free space that resulted from deleting those partitions. The installation (reinstallation) of the new version of Debian generated a new GRUB installation (Grub Version 2.06-3). However, the installation of the new version of Debian and the associated GRUB did not pick up my Windows 10 system which is installed on separate hard drive. During start-up I went into the UEFI BIOS Utility and selected the hard drive that Windows 10 is installed on and then tried to boot, I got the GRUB rescue screen with two errors: "no such device" and "unknown file system". I realize this is probably because in installing the new version of Debian in the same space as the previous version, I likely broke the connection with the old GRUB bootloader.

I've looked at the file system on the hard drive where Windows 10 is installed and everything looks intact. Also, I've created a bootable Windows 10 installation/repair USB flash drive and through the command line, I've repaired Master Boot Record using BOOTREC/FIXMBR. Further, I've used the command line to find the hard drive where Windows 10 is installed (Disk 2) and then I've gone to the EFI directory on Disk 2 and found the following directories:

-debian with the following files: shimx64.efi, grubx64.efi, mmx64.efi, fbx64.efi, bootx64.csv, grub.cfg

-BOOT with the following files: bootx64.efi, fbx64.efil, mmx64.efi

-Microsoft with subdirectory Boot with the following file: BCD

I am trying to get Windows 10 to boot again. But, so far, I have not been successful. Does anyone have ideas to how to get around the GRUB Bootloaders and to get Windows 10 to boot successfully again? Thank you

 

Windows 10 won't mount Samba share from Debian

Thanks for your quick reply, Mike. I just:

• Unchecked the "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" Windows feature
• Rebooted
• Checked the "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" Windows feature
• Rebooted
• Tried connecting to the Debian server's share

But it didn't work.

Any other suggestions? In the meantime as a workaround, I see that there's a "Services for NFS" option that I'm going to test out to see if I can get access that way.
