Additional information: I found out that Qubes didn't boot into /dev/sda3 but in /dev/sda5 which can't be started as this is not primary partition. See also my attached screenshot.
I have mounted both partition with a live Linux and copied all files from /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda3. I have also edited in /dev/sda3 grub2/grub.cfg and edited all entries which said msdos5 and changed it to msdos3. Not sure if I need to changes some more lines and what to do afterwards. As far as I know there are also references which are referenced to with a UUID (some weirds long numbers/characters) - do I need to change them also? Also do I need to run a specific Grub command to apply the manually modified grub.cfg? I tried to boot up, but run into the same error. How can I reinstalled Qubes 3.2 and force it to use dev/sda3 as boot not a logical partition? [799] Gesendet von ProtonMail mobile -------- Original-Nachricht -------- An 30.
