Ok so yesterday I turned my computer off before I went to school, it was working fine and I hadn't made any changes, I was just playing music on youtube. I came back, turned it on and I got this message from bios "the system found unauthorized changes on the firmware". I've had this problem before but it would go away if I tried again. I've tried repairing it with the windows install disk. I think I know the problem to the "unauthorized changes" I went into the install part of the windows install disk and where it lets you browse for drivers it let me access my c drive but was now my d drive and my d drive was now my c drive so if it doesn't make sense...
c drive (where windows is installed) is now called "d" and my d drive (where my games etc are installed) is now called "c" so I believe it's trying to boot windows off of my games drive.
I tried to fix this by going into cmd in the windows install disk and using these commands:
x:\sources>diskpart
diskpart>list volume
diskpart> select volume c
diskpart> assign letter=a
diskpart>select volume d
diskpart>assign letter=c
diskpart>select volume a
diskpart>assign letter=d
so basically I moved my c drive (games) to a temporarily then changed my d drive (windows) to c and then change my a drive (games) to d.
Should be back to normal right? I reboot and gives me the same error so I go back into windows install disk and browse and my disks are back like they were before (c being my games drive and d being my windows drive)
Now to make matters worse in bios I can't even find windows boot manager (idk if thats the name but it's what would boot windows) so I can't even get that error message up.
I really don't want to have to get rid of windows again and delete all my stuff
Oh and I tried booting into kali off my usb and that worked fine if that helps at all.
