I decided to switch my hp Elitebook 840 G5 to Ubuntu 19.10 from Windows 10 (i bought the Laptop with no OS preinstalled, if that matters)
Now after installing Ubuntu (full install, formatting the SSD with no dual boot) upon rebooting i get this messeage in UEFI: "GPT Recovery: HDD GPT was found corrupted and has been recovered automatically. No further action required."
And trying to boot Ubuntu just goes to GNU GRUB version 2.04. with no way to get into Ubuntu.
After looking around for a while i tried using gdisk and got this messeage:
Partition table scan:
MBR: MBR only
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: not present
************************************************** *************
Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format
in memory. THIS OPERATION IS POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE! Exit by
typing 'q' if you don't want to convert your MBR partitions
to GPT format!
************************************************** *************
commands -v and -w tell me that the secondary and last partition overlap by 33 blocks and that this has to be fixed in a different application.
Now, I have to be honest: I have absolutely no Idea what any of this means, how to fix it and if it even matters: In fact, a big reason why i chose Ubuntu in the first place is because the installation was supposed to be easy...
Any way that I can get my Computer running again?
