I bricked my GRUB pls help :(

Ask Fedora

Hi, so basically I think I bricked my GRUB
Here’s the problem:
Back then I have 2 physical NVMe and dual-booted Windows and Fedora -
1 512gb : Windows OS (basically Local Disk C and I guess the bootloader)
1 1TB partitioned into 2 partitions :

  • 512gb Windows disk format (Local Disk D)
  • 512gb Fedora Linux
    I can safely switched between Windows and Linux via the GRUB back then.
    But now the problem come when I formatted my 512 gb physical NVMe to be sold bundled with my old laptop, now I’m left with 1 1TB disk.
    When I boot through it there’s only Windows Boot Manager (corrupted one) and no Fedora
    I booted through Fedora’s live environment to fix the issue but don’t know how. I’m hoping you guys could help me. I don’t want to lose my Fedora environment that I’ve built for the past 2 months. Thank you.

I’ll provide the lsblk screenshot below

Here’s lsblk followed by lsblk -f -p of my drive.
AFAIK, i run on UEFI mode

I haven’t tried it, but there is some documentation on how to restore GRUB from a Live image here:

I think you should be able to just skip the LVM parts since your appear to be using simple partitions.

Also, since you are using ext4, you should omit -o subvol=root.

It doesn’t look like you have a separate partition for /boot, so just skip that mount command.
