Hey all,
I’ve ran a dual-booted Windows+Endeavour combo for quite some time now, and only recently decided to reinstall Windows due to it just running fairly slow. Since then, I can’t seem to be able to boot into Endeavour, no matter what I do. Here’s some general info:
→ the GRUB entry in my BIOS’ boot menu disappeared (i know it’s a usual occurence, since Windows tends to shove its bootloader wherever it can (it’s not my first Windows reinstall while dual-booting), but last time it happened (~1 year ago), I was able to fix everything by booting into a live environment, mounting the Linux partition and reinstalling GRUB (or so I think, it’s been a while - bad memory, lmao). It didn’t work this time.
→ upon trying to boot straight into Endeavour via the Windows’ Advanced Boot Options, I’m greeted with an error - Bootloader Not Found,
→ upon trying to boot from EFI file, I can’t find anything GRUB-related on the EFI partition (overwritten by Windows, I assume),
→ after booting into Endeavour via Super Grub2 Disk, it boots into emergency mode, with errors (check attached screenshot),
→ i’ve tried disabling the Windows Boot Manager via efibootmgr, with no effects,
→ i’ve also changed the boot sequence via efibootmgr - once again, nothing happened,
→ and i’ve tried to reinstall GRUB from the live environment a couple times now, to no avail.
Running fsck a couple times reported no errors. Here’s my fdisk -l output:

(i spared the ID of the USB drive - it’d take up too much space in the post)
Every time I change the boot sequence with efibootmgr -o to the correct one, it boots straight into Windows, and then reverts to the one displayed above.
What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated. I’ve been stuck on the matter for over 2 days, and it’s getting tiring…
