Hello everyone, i have a really bad problem with my hp laptop. This is not easy to explain but i will at least try.
First of all, the laptop is very old and only had windows 10 installed in legacy bios mode. I needed Ubuntu so i decided to dual boot the two operating systems.
The problem is that Ubuntu has been installed in uefi mode so grub wasn't able to detect windows at all. moreover, i am not able to access my windows 10 even if i switch back to legacy mode and i don't know why. so i tried one last thing (and i assume that i should not have done that) which is to use boot-repair in a live USB to try to make up things. But the PC wasn't plugged in so obviously it ran out of power and the boot-repair process got interrupted. Now Things are worse because when i trying using live image tools to repair the disk or even reinstall windows or Linux, my hard drive isn't detected at all. something must have been corrupted due to the interruption and now I'm not even able to install a new operating system.
Actually i don't even care about my personal data, i just want to wipe everything and install a whole new windows 10 then dual booting it with Ubuntu properly.
i apologize for my bad english. i only have an academic level and i don't know if i have managed to explain things well but hope that you will understand anyway.
Thanks in advance for your help.
