Yeah, the beginner's guide has got worse lately.

But yeah, if you boot the usb (or any live Linux) and chroot into your install, you should be able to fix it. (Though starting again may well be quicker).

Also EFI can go fuck itself. They actually managed to make something, from a user POV, worse than BIOS.

This.

Only ever had issues with EFI/SecureBoot/Whatever else it's called.

I remember all that coupled with an nvidia optimus setup led me to selling the system on ebay.

Even if it takes longer, I'd prefer to fix it, to help make sure I know what I'm doing.

Didn't get a chance to look at it today though - got fuck all of anything done thanks to constant interruptions and distractions. Not sure whether to count not thumping everyone as an achievement or a failure. X-S

Well that was a lot more effort than it should have been, though I can't blame EFI - my initial mistake plus the lack of clear information/explanations in the wiki (and search engines being their usual shitness) were all bigger factors.

It was also not as much of an ordeal as getting MusicBee running through Wine! I flaming did it though! :D
