I think I found a bug in my motherboard's BIOS. When you have a drive with a unformated uefi boot partition plugged in, the whole computer freezes when you try to enter the bios setup.

They also memory holed the bios revision I'm running. No Gigabyte, F36d couldn't have come out September 18th since I downloaded F36b September 29th.

Also Windows disk manager fucking hides partitions from you and doesn't let you delete system partitions! Windows sucks so fucking much

@matrix https://gparted.org/livecd.php This has saved me multiple times. It hasn't been updated for years, but for basic partitioning it still works fine.

@phnt I can't open the boot menu or BIOS screen. I would have to unplug drives (a lot of work because they're NVME).
I think Windows has some cmd tool that should let me do it.

@matrix The Windows utility is called diskpart I think. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if even that decided to hide partitions.

> I can't open the boot menu or BIOS screen
Yeah, this is the reason why I always set USB boot ahead of HDD boot on desktops.

@phnt @matrix I recently tried to help a friend who was interesting in learning to code so she brough her windows laptop over.

I couldn't make head or tails of it. Like I legit could not even get gcc on the fucking thing.

msys2 :) or cygwin if you want an actual posix enviroment.

That said clang makes much more sense on Windows and the usual way to get a compiler and an IDE on Windows is just to install Visual Studio Community. You need it for vcpkg anyway, which is what is usually used to get build dependencies on Windows.
