...of my own making. While trying to dual boot with Deepin and Windows 10 I find that I can no longer log in to Win10. Since Deepin was working well I thought the best way to recover was to burn an .iso to a USB. I was absolutely sure that I had chosen the correct USB to format. By now you know what's coming. Not only had I chosen the wrong one but I had managed to format my recovery drive!! So here I am at the loading screen with no access to Win 10, no recovery USB, trying to recover with a program that I have never used before.
So is the USB strategy the right way to go? Here's what I've done so far.:
Used Deepin to download the Win 10 recovery .iso.
Partitioned and formatted the USB to NTFS.
Used Etcher to burn the .iso (A warning screen said that there was a partition problem. But I clicked on "install anyway". Even though the program ran and verified the install as successful, it wasn't. The USB was empty when I checked!)
I've tried other programs with no success.
And by the way, what is mounting? How do I get that done?
Looking forward to your recommendations. Thanks in advance!
