Recently, I tried to install Pop! OS on my system over my pre existing Ubuntu 22.04 installation. I have an Acer Nitro 5 with a 256 GB SSD (on which my windows is installed) and a 1TB HDD (on which I installed Pop! OS).
When installing Pop! OS, I created a new boot partition on my HDD (because my old boot partition was on the SSD and not big enough to proceed with the installation) and proceeded with choosing my /, /home, swap and /boot/efi partitions. After a successful installation, when I tried to boot, it just booted into an empty grub command line. I figured it was still trying to boot from the old boot partition on the SSD, so being the fool I am I deleted it.
I then tried to boot into the BIOS, but it just gave me a black screen with an unblinking white cursor on the top left of the screen. I tried scouring forums online and somehow I was able to enter into the BIOS.
Now I'm facing two issues. Firstly, I'm not able to see my bootable devices in the BIOS menu. There is a single entry with the number 2. and no text in it. I can't change it or move it:
Secondly, my windows installation broke. When I try to boot into windows (using the systemd-boot entry I added using bcdboot) it gives me
The Boot Configuration Data file doesn't contain valid information for an operating system
File: \BCD
Error Code: 0xc0000098
Note: I am able to see the windows boot manager and the Pop! OS boot entry when I hold f12 and try to boot, and my Pop! OS installation works smoothly (I can login, run the browser, etc.)
Edit: I tried to reinstall Pop! OS and now I can't load the BIOS. Again.
