I am able to boot it. Firefox works, but seems prone to crashing. I tried to do the Fedora install from the live USB. Both I and my friend were very soon lost, and did not know how to proceed. What I found on the Fedora website was not much help for my situation. > > * This is a dual-boot stand-alone workstation: windows-7 + Fedora. > * As of yesterday afternoon, I can no longer log in to either OS. > * I'd like to preserve the windows-7 part of the hard drive. > * I want Fedora-41 workstation installed over the current non-functioning Fedora 40/41 workstation. > * I don't know how to get numbers, but from past experience I know that the boot(?) partition needs to be bigger. In the past, I had to cut back to current kernel + one old kernel, no rescue. I also have memtest[whatever] (it's in the grub menu). I'd like to have current kernel + 3 old kernels + rescue + memtest + windows-7. > * I'd sure like to keep my /home data, but I realize that might not be possible. > > You can see what my hardware is here: > "https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=7fa74ee631";. > > A few of you have been wanting me to re-install. I seem to have no other option. I seriously need help with this re-install. I'm going to take a stab in the dark... I'm guessing the UEFI is not allowing you to boot to either OS because it does not like either bootloader (both the WIndows and Linux boot loaders). Boot to a Live ISO, and then update the Secure Boot DBX database (Forbidden Signature Database). Use fwupdmgr to update it. If you still cannot boot after the updates, then disable Secure Boot.
