How screwed is my windows?

4xx Client Error 412 Precondition Failed

I have windows on my C drive, and garuda on a partition on my A drive. How screwed is my windows?

With or without the drive configuration you mentioned, it’s probably only a matter of time before your Windows installation develops inexplicable problems and assumes a permanent state of impaired usability.

You could fix this issue with the following formatting routine:

  1. Reformat the A drive and make the whole thing Linux instead of only a partition.
  2. Reformat the C drive as well, and make that one also Linux. Another distro, extra storage, whatever.

That’s it! That should resolve any lingering Windows-related configuration issues you are having.

I hope that helps, welcome to the community @Vagous. :wave:

I love new X-Y (and possibly C) mysteries! :wink:

@Vagous, please…

  1. Read here in the forum how to provide a garuda-inxi output.
  2. Then boot from a live Garuda ISO.
  3. Copy/paste that output here, as instructed.

That will give us a clear(er) understanding of your drive setup. The information you have so far provided is worthless.

So just removing garuda and it’s partitition isn’t enough?

5

Posting a garuda-inxi output so we can help you is out of the question, huh?

I guess your Windows is totally farked, then. Better tear it down to the nubbin’ and reinstall everything.

6

So just do that in the terminal?

7

Ugh, I uninstalled garuda anyway, so, idk.

8

Is there nothing to do at that point?

Please read my first reply. And if nobody replies to your latest post, just add to it. no need to create a new post.

I uninstalled garuda. I can’t do that command.

You can thank me being stupid when I wake up

You “uninstalled” it? How did you manage that, the old “uninstall” button? :joy: :wink:

You never made it clear what the issue was (if there even was one), so I took the opportunity to tease you a bit. My apologies if it was not clear I was only joking around.

It seems there is nothing to solve here so I’ll go ahead and close this one down. So long @Vagous, feel free to come back any time. :slightly_smiling_face:
