idk.

Are you booting from a USB drive or something? Does your computer have room for a second drive that you can format with GPT and an EFI partition and boot from that. Do tools still show an NTFS partition existing on the disk?

I went to a great computer repair shop. They said my windows files are probably corrupted. They said I should buy some usb drives and load windows on one and linux on the other. Boot the computer into linux, move all the files I want from C to another drive. Then wipe the C drive, reinstall windows, then move the files back.

I'm super relieved. Im going to do it tomorrow.

Nice, thanks for the update! Reading the drive from linux is a really good tip, since linux has great NTFS support.
