Hello, first time poster.
I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu 19.10 alongside Windows 10 on my Lenovo C940 Yoga. I made a mistake following this tutorial and seem to have broken my laptop's boot management system.
I created the partition a la the tutorial, I shrank the C volume and then booted into the ubuntu installer, and then used the installer to create a "root" partition in the unallocated space. My mistake was that I forgot to create a "home" and "swap" partitions as well. I successfully completed the install process but when I tried to log in it just re-booted and took me to Windows, and asked me for my bit-locker key. I had to disable bitlocker because it was asking me for the recovery key on every reboot.
I figured out my error. Turned off bitlocker. Reabsorbed the partition into the main volume using windows disk manager, and then recreated a similar partition. Now when I bring up the boot manager on restart (pressing f12) it just has "ubuntu" at the top as if ubunutu were installed, and it never shows any install media I have in the USB as an option. If I select ubuntu, it just takes me to windows. I have disabled secure boot and disabled fast start up.
I created a recovery disk image using the Windows 7 legacy tool prior to this process. My next step is to try to reset the hard drive to the state it was before this process? I was hoping for some advice before I commit yet another two hours of my life to trying this.
