I inadvertently modified the - I thought - boot sector of my disk.
Actually it appears I modified my UEFI whatever - boot sector, boot file, or whatever microsoft has changed in the boot process.
Short of wiping the disk and reinstalling what are my options to correct this.
I'm a unix and linux administrator and am used to mdifiying boot FILES - but I can't find anything to change, correct, or whatever...
Any suggestions whold be helpful
Thanks

Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
UEFI presents a very different booting environment than the old BIOS system, so experience with the latter does not help with the former, at all.
Here is some information about Linux with UEFI -- which will help you understand the new UEFI boot process: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
Good Luck

Interesting .....
I guess if there's a better way to do something
Microsoft will steal it ....
{ Noticed the info is in the UBUNTU LINUX area }
I'll have to check it out..
I've set up HP Unix development systems that run 2 or 3 different versions of HPUX and never had any of them
give me the grief this Win10 has. ( Maybe I'm getting too oold to understand it ????? ----NAH }
Thanx again
