Acer r7 not booting msata after wiping oem harddrive
So I have owned my r7 for almost a year now and within the first two weeks I installed an evo840 msata running Ubuntu 14.04. It was setup as a secondary boot device accessible from the boot menu. About a week ago I was in desperate need of more storage and given how I never used Windows on the oem hard drive I wiped it from Ubuntu and created a new luks volume on it to store my things.
I suppose I did not shut the laptop down at all until it ran out of battery today, and upon booting up I am greeted with a message 'default boot device miss g or boot failed' while in uefi mode. Switching back to legacy and attempting to boot from my msata running Ubuntu I am given 'no bootable device - - insert boot disk and press any key'.
How bad of a good did I make here?
Oh, and how does one go about removing the administration bios password if it were to be forgotten?
