Secure Boot Messed UP My Computer

I did a video recently on how to enable secure boot with an MBR partition. It seems some people tried converting their MBR partition to GPT without a UEFI BIOS. This will of course cause your system not to boot. This video will show you how to fix it.

My man you have got to be the most humble and knowledgeable PC tech I've seen online. Keep up the great work I love all your content! You rock

I should've paused the video earlier but here now I pause at 7 minutes and 37 seconds, 2 years after this video was created to offer my deepest and most sincerest appreciation and gratitude for you Rich. I'm at the beginning of my tech journey and I've found out fast that if you don't know wth you're doing you have a 6 foot 8 280 lb guy name "Ain't this some Shit" looming around the corner ready to hit you square in the jaw. I didn't perform a backup or anything of course and it's the families computer. I type all this to say I now truly realize that there are moments in life where relief to this level can only be obtained in moments quite like this. You saved a family today sir, and more importantly a young man's buttocks. Thank you so much for real, for making a video like this but even more so for acting upon your decision to make a youtube channel, following through, and staying at it. You really are helping a lot of people.

MBR2GPT should really have a warning about running it on a boot drive on a non-UEFI BIOS (and probably even prevent it from running unless blatantly overridden).

My Laptop won't boot after following your first video, but following this steps fix it back to normal thanks 👍🏻

Happened to me on a new system. It was only one of a few issues I ran into, including of course, a non functional thumbdrive. Had to buy one of those first. I am watching this for your guide as a 'after disaster' breakdown.

man this is the only video ive found that knows how to fix this very niche problem I have, only issue is i plugged the usb drive with hirens boot cd onto it, and when i turned on the bricked computer, i've tried every single possible combination of the function keys, as well as looked at my documentation (cyberpower pc) and pressed f11 constantly to get it into the menu you had up on screen (where you could select the usb drive as the boot drive) as well as tired all the way from f5-12 with fn/without fn and everything in between. im at such a loss cause this computer cost me so much when I bought it and I do not have the money at all to buy another. need help asap 😭😭😭

Something I always do when I build a computer for a client (or myself for that matter) I always have a second drive where I setup all the folders for the personal info and then I change the docs, images, etc folders to point to that second drive location. That way those files are always there and if you have to reinstall its a simple matter of redirecting those folders back to that drive and all your files are intact and accessable.

Secure Boot was put there to lock out better systems. It was bound to cause trouble. Turn it off, and your box is no less secure than one running Win 8. M$ is not interested in producing a system better than the competition. Doing it this way is far easier.

>> I believe you missed an edit, Sir -- at 4:20, I think you were trying to show a link or the video

And also, again thanks for the vid. Really helped cause I was actually looking for something like this since I do installation my own (Experimental-Still learning)

Hirens boot CD is also your go to hacking collection.
It can jack windows password, modify registry etc. Great stuff. I am surprised it's not banned yet.

Always have a rescue usb thumb drive, especially if you only have one computer. Even if you only have one USB port, for example on a laptop, the Linux-based System Rescue CD has a boot option which copies the sysrescd OS to RAM while booting so that once booted you can then remove the sysrescd thumb drive and insert a second thumb drive to do backups or to download and extract a different ISO.

[marratia]

Many Thanks!!! You helped me solve many problems, specially for the Hirens Boot CD, supper cool in deed.

[Exspiravit]

Thank you worked a treat. All stemmed from malware added to my laptop this week which I'm sure has disabled Windows Update. It's been removed, also the guy got into a few of my social medias sites and went to town on my Instagram account!

[garycunningham]

Ok, Partition magic got me back to MBR but my boot record was still messed up. I found a vid that ran me through some BootREC commands for command promt and that patched up my boot record enough to get my recovery drive to catch. Wow! What an adventure that was. But! I got it back and freed up 65 gigs the last ownder had partitioned. Thank you for the journey.

[markae]

Thanks for explaining GPT versus MBR in the boot menu.

[Jmoneythadon]

Thank you man this worked!. It didn't work the first time so my advice don't use a cheap thumb drive they don't have the power to handle this get a decent one and it works. I switched to one of the better thumb drives I already had and it worked like a charm only took 10 sec to load up and I was done in 2 min so thanks again! And I don't care about windows 11 anymore if you have to do all this to get an update then they can keep it!

I changed boot to uefi but made boot logo look weird so trying every thing your the only guy to have working solution to change back to legacy

[KOT-ANGRY]

Drinking beer after work, watching your videos and know what? Youre optimistic amigo and Life is Kaif 🍻 so enjoy what you doing! Keep going ❤

Love this channel hehe :)
Real men do not back up - they just cry, very much. :)

But I don’t know how to make the menu pop up so I can choose to boot with the usb drive? I have a custom build gaming pc and when the screen is blank I can’t do anything. I tried escape f8, f9, 12, f10 and none of these work
