Make sure that Windows is actually installed. You could run this:
lsblk --output NAME,KNAME,RA,RM,RO,PARTFLAGS,SIZE,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,PARTLABEL,PTTYPE,MOUNTPOINT,UUID,PARTUUID,WWN,MODEL,ALIGNMENT
somefile.txt
and then attach that "somefile.txt" to your reply. Mind, attach, do not paste. Menu File/attach/File(s).
Hope that this worked OK. I'll get to the rest of the instructions (below) right after I send this.
Perfect.
Yes, Windows is installed.
I see 3 small vfat partitions, two unknown and one EFI (#1, #2 and #5) I see one small NTFS partition, probably the windows boot. (#4) I see one big NTFS partition, #3
Then there is swap (#6) and linux (#7) I guess.
I suspect you did not fully erase the disk before starting the installation of the first system (#1 and #2). And maybe Linux did not like the result and created yet another EFI partition.
In another post I admitted that I had formatted partitions for Windows and TW after I had cleaned the entire drive by erasing and removing all partitions using gparted. Before I installed TW, I installed and ran Windows, as I mentioned, and installed just a few apps to make it not suck so much. Then I installed TW. The system has crashed about three times since then, but I did run s-tui and watched it for some time while I ran some other stuff. I did not see anything suspicious. Of course I monitored the fan on the CPU--it ran all the time. Perhaps it needs to run faster? It seems to run silently. But the CPU also remains about 30°C or so--hardly working up a sweat. Someone posted a line for monitoring cpu temperatures but I can't find it. Perhaps I can write a short app to monitor the temperatures and record them. If I can find a Pascal compiler. Or if I could find my notes on writing BASH. Then I also need some kind of routine that will keep the processor busy. (It is only about 30 years since I wrote any code!) What else could make the system crash? --doug
