Regards, Two weeks ago I installed EndeavorOS and I had no problem, but a few days ago it started to put problems, the screen came out to choose OS but endeavor said that there was an error, then the grub screen no longer came out and it only loaded win 10, I have installed endeavorOS on a 240 gb ssd and win 10 on another 240 gb ssd, I tried to reinstall but it was but now at the end of the installation I get the following:
Currently does it boot into windows 10?
If windows 10 boots without problem
You are going to have to boot up on the live ISO and provide some hardware information. You may have to install inxi.
sudo pacman -S inxi
Then you can provide a link from this command.
inxi -Fxxxz --no-host | eos-sendlog
Would also like to see the output of this command.
sudo fdisk -l
sudo fdisk -l:

but, the install inxi, says error in the mirror
Okay … no problem.
I just want to understand your disk layout here. Looks like Windows is installed in UEFI mode but llinux was installed in Bios mode. What is the other drive? /dev/sdc
Edit: Are there 3 drives?
I have two SSD drives, the / dev / sda is the one for windows, the / dev / sdb drive is for Linux and the / dev / sdc drive is a HDD hard drive
Yes, i have 3 drives
Okay so the installation on Windows is GPT and UEFI the other two drives are DOS. What is the hard drive for?
To install EndeavorOS I chose / dev / sdb, which even the first installation did not present problems, but two weeks later grub stopped working and only loads windows 10, when trying to reinstall I get the message that is in the photo
The HDD / dev / sdc disk, is only to save information
First make sure that secure boot and fast boot in UEFI Bios are turned off. There is also another feature in Windows 10 that is called fast startup that should also be disabled in Windows 10 as it uses hiberfile.
It may have installed the first time and i don’t know how it was installed but now it is installed on a DOS partition. It needs to be a GPT partition and UEFI. So i would say that you need to check the settings first in the UEFI Bios. Then when you reinstall you need to boot on the live ISO. Use gparted and create a new partion GPT on the drive that you are installing EndeavourOS to. This will erase all partitions on that drive. Not sure if you have files on it you need since you installed it? Then you can start the installer and use erase disc and select what you want. Make sure it say’s EFI at the top left and you have the correct drive when you proceed.
Edit: The other hard drive doesn’t matter.
ok thanks i will try according to the instructions, i will tell you the result
recheck all option in your UEFI
SecureBoot off
Fast Boot off
No CSM
No Legacy
all disks on AHCI
No Optane/RST
you can check in terminal
inxi -Fxza
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
sudo parted -lboot on UEFI[Legacy] will try to install in MBR…
Judging from the picture you posted, you are installing the bootloader for a Legacy/MBR install on /dev/sda which is GPT and not /dev/sdb. That is the reason of the failure.
I guess even if you would install the bootloader on /dev/sdb, you would end up with a mixed boot mode UEFI-Legacy dualboot. system.
Not sure how it was installed the first time that it worked? But, if it’s installed in Bios with dual boot and UEFI is the other OS installation it’s bound to be a problem.
Yeah, we are in the dark about that.
Sounds like a classic recipe for a bit of trouble. At any rate the advice given by you and @Stephane should resolve OP’s issue.
Good afternoon, thanks for the instructions, after trying to reinstall and the boot did not work, I realized that the disk where it was installed in some part of the process was left with an MBR partition, I erase the disk and pass it to GPT and it was installed correctly and I start in dual boot, but in the case of the recommendations if I could deactivate fast boot, not CSM and disks in AHCI, but my ASUS board does not allow Secureboot to be deactivated, and now a few days after the installation it has started to give dual boot problems,
Not up on this personally, but I understand that rEFInd can handle secure boot if necessary - might want to research that a bit.

What ASUS board refuses to disable secure boot? I’ve used a lot of them (3 in action currently) and have never seen that…
It is an ASUS PRIME B250-A motherboard, check all the setup and the part where it says secureboot cannot be selected, it only informs that it is activated
