Hello, I've been playing around and have created a problem for myself. I had Ubuntu on one hdd, then added BT5 on a newly installed second drive. At that point BT5 became the only drive I could boot into. I didn't try to fix it. I decided to try out Bodhi instead, so I installed that on the same drive as BT5, thinking I could just overwrite BT. Now hdd1 is completely inaccessible. lsblk command returns this: sda (original drive 1TB) 931g; sda1 243m part/media/sda1; sda2 1k, part; sda5 931g, part. sdb (new 500g drive) 465g; sdb1, 459g, part/; sdb2, 1k, part; sdb5, 6g, part [swap]. sr0, 763m, rom/media/ubuntu 12.10. zram0, 2.9g, disk [swap].
I have no problem losing the operating systems and starting over as the computer is a week old and has nothing valuable on it. I presume my problem was trying to write over an encrypted partition or something. I've got Grub running with UEFI so that seems to complicate the situation, too. I seem to have mounted partitions that I must unmount in order to reinstall the OS. I just don't want to make anything any worse by continued experimentation. I'm a Linux noob. Any help would be appreciated.
