I just need to fix this, using antix 21 distro
Yes that is correct, I flashed my hdd instead of my USB and it turned unuseable, only the SSD works.G'day mate. Welcome to Linux.org. Merry Christmas !
Dont panic.
Give us some more detail.....
As i understand your situation, you HAD antix21 installed on your hdd
You were trying to make a bootable usb.....and in 'Flashing' the iso to that usb stick you have mistakenly 'flashed' your hdd
Is this correct ?
Also Merry Christmas for you tooYes that is correct, I flashed my hdd instead of my USB and it turned unuseable, only the SSD works.
I don`t have these installed nor did I make backups, but I`ll try to use timeshift with some tutorialsDo you have Timeshift installed and setup to take snapshots?...if not, do you have any backup at all?
If not, you will need to reinstall. It is the simplest option.
You can always look for the data finders/recovery apps. Someone else may have a good idea what else to use for that. Because it is Christmas, there will be fewer members online. Be patient
Also how do I reinstall?Do you have Timeshift installed and setup to take snapshots?...if not, do you have any backup at all?

same as your original install.. just remember to choose the correct storage drive, you should have the option to use whole diskAlso how do I reinstall?
That sould work, the only issue is that my SSD overwrites my HD on the boot menu, but I`ll try to get that sorted out so I can recover my HD. Thanks guyssame as your original install.. just remember to choose the correct storage drive, you should have the option to use whole disk
install alongside another distribution or something diffren..[you may also get a repair Anitx option if you do use it
You'll need to go into your BIOS and change which drive you want to start first on boot.That sould work, the only issue is that my SSD overwrites my HD on the boot menu, but I`ll try to get that sorted out so I can recover my HD. Thanks guys

I do the same steps like this YouTuber:**1. For Ubuntu and Linux Mint** & Derivatives
Open the terminal (ctrl+alt+T) and execute the below commands one by one....click on Enter between each one.(copy and paste the commands below into Terminal to avoid mistakes)
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install timeshift
**Then just go to Menu....type in Timeshift....and it will be there.**
Settings...select RSYNC
Location...select where you will store the snapshot/s (external hard drive is preferable)
Schedule...if you have a drive with plenty of space you can elect to save several snapshots.....or just keep one or two...
Users...Include All
Filters...under the + icon select both lines
Thats enough....go back to main screen of Timeshift, and select Create
grab a coffee.....5 minutes approx...may be longer depending on how much extra crap you have installed.
Now......if something goes south while you are trying changes etc etc, all you need to do is access Timeshift, click on restore, and go grab another coffee.
Your system will be returned to whenever the snapshot you have chosen to restore, was taken.
