Windows 10: Windows 10 Won't Boot UP: Just Loads A Black Grub Screen with a >

My Windows 10 won't boot up anymore. When I try to boot up, I just get a black screen with:

grub >

displayed on it.

Above that, it says:

Code: Minimal BASH-like editing is supported. for the first word, TAB lists possible commands completions.Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completion grub>[/quote] The Computer is an HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF

Here's what happened (if you need the backstory):

Windows 10 was working fine before. I wanted to convert this computer to running Linux (Mint 19).

I pulled out the hard drive with Windows 10 on it, and put in a DIFFERENT hard drive and installed Linux Mint on to that hard drive. It works fine, by the way.

I wanted to boot into windows 10 again, so I swapped hard drives and tried to boot. That is how I got this error.

After it wouldn't boot up, I went into the Boot Device Menu. Under UEFI, it lists Ubuntu (same thing as linux mint). Previously it listed Windows Boot Manager.

Under legacy boot sources, it lists SATA0, which should be the hard drive. However, if I select SATA0 under legacy boot sources, I get this error message:

Code: GPT-Formatted disk. Legacy boot not supported. Press any key to reboot.[/quote] If I have the windows hard drive in the machine but boot up off of a Linux live USB, I can see the partions of the disk with Windows 10 on it look like this:

/dev/sda1/ EFI System Partition fat32 100MiB (size) 53.31MiB (used) boot, esp (flags)

dev/sda2 ! (exclamation point) Microsoft Reserved Partition Unknown (file system) 128 MiB (size) -- -- msftres (flags)

GRUB loaded error

When I go to boot suse 10.2 with grub, after the bios checking It just displays; "LI." and stops. It just says LI and stops. I now boot with a install disk, then just choose boot from harddrive and it works. Any suggestions?

 

Laptop went black and won;t reboot

Hi Andree,

Hardware and software conflict is one of the possible reasons why you're experiencing black screen. Sometimes, it is also because of hardware failure. To get this issue fixed, we suggest that you
boot into Safe Mode by following these steps:

• Turn off your computer 3 times while booting. Windows should automatically boot to the Recovery Environment after 3 unsuccessful attempts in a row.
  
• Once you are within the Recovery Environment, select Troubleshoot, and then
  Advanced options, then Startup Settings, and
  Restart. When it restarts, you should see a number of options. Press 5 or F5 for
  Safe Mode with Networking.

Once your computer is in Safe Mode, please follow the workaround provided on this
link. Simply select the similar case that you're experiencing to show the troubleshooting steps.

Let us know how it works.
