Hello, I'm still a noob when it comes to computers. I had a dual boot Windows 11 and OpenSuse Leap 15.6. My problem is that I was using my laptop as always and I was simply searching through internet when the system glitched. So I tried to restart my laptop, but then it showed screens with sth like Bios corrupted, blue screen etc. And then it restarted but only with Windows 11. When I check the settings partition has fully free memory, so it means that my OpenSuse is gone.

What could have gone wrong?

Sorry for the noob question and thanks for any help. I'm just really davastated.

For this kinds of problems, it might be best to go to https://forums.opensuse.org/

Or the matrix room.

Two possibilities of what happened:

bootloader got replaced by Windows - fix: reinstall the bootloader
partition got deleted by Windows - if space is still reserved, use a tool to recover the partition

In both cases, I recommend going to the OpenSuse forums or matrix channel for help.

Copied my comment: I've figured out that after the Event 41 Task 63 I've must have clicked Enter at some point during the restart (I don't remember) and Leap got deleted. It's not about showing partitions correctly but it's really just gone. Eh Thanks for the answers anyway

Actually, I'm just stupid and fixed my problem even though it showed that the memory on the partition is free. It sucks to be a noob. Thanks and excuse me

I've never heard of a partition magically disappearing. This is extremely weird. Were you using Windows or Leap when it happened?
