    WARNING: This will cause data loss. Just like other comments, I too have lost all my data. This is very bad advice and the video should be removed.

      didn't lose my data, but it did ruin my boot. i booted from a live cd mounted my drive to /mnt, chrooted to /mnt like normal and re-ran grub config. everything seems to be good now

    your boot loader will probably be borked by doing this. i had to boot from live cd, mount my drive somewhere and re-run grub-mkconfig
    edit: and yep, i didn't notice any data loss. except for the whole break boot loader part, but that's minor since you can rebuild it

    Mine says mbr: protective
    Gpt: present
    Is that okay?

    • @pedrovitor5125
      @pedrovitor5125 2 года назад +1

      Looks ok. I think the video was finished in the same condition

    • @itsupport-OsArabIT

      yes totally OK,
      GPT Scheme has protective mbr sector at the beginning for backward compatibility reasons.
      when writing GPT table, will add gpt table that contains data about partitions at the beginning after the mbr sector which becomes protective, as well as add backup table at the end of the hard, which may erase data at these places of hard. typically it is better than erasing all data.

      I can explain,
      GPT Scheme has protective mbr sector at the beginning for backward compatibility reasons.
      when writing GPT table, will add gpt table that contains data about partitions at the beginning after the mbr sector which becomes protective, as well as add backup table at the end of the hard, which may erase data at these places of hard. typically it is better than erasing all data.

    • @TechINtn
      @TechINtn  3 года назад +1

      if you want replace ubuntu by windows 10, you must erase the disk and install windows.
      first you want to Create a Windows 10 Bootable USB on Ubuntu 20.04 : ruclips.net/video/rJQk9KVekFI/видео.html
      then boot on USB bbotable and Install windows 10 : ruclips.net/video/o-2GopsJrIE/видео.html

      2- Chose r : recovery and transformation options (experts only)
      3- Chose g : convert GPT into MBR and exit
      4- Chose w : write the MBR partition table to disk and exit
