and it dropped me into a Windows recovery prompt
I discovered this bloody annoyance in XP I believe, or maybe was 98. The way I used to get rid of it was to start the install of whatever OS, format the drive in one large partition, reboot, then install whatever OS I was going to install and partition accordingly. Took a few extra minutes but well worth it vs doing the whole install and remove files later/tell current OS to ignore other files.
I’m a “Loonixtard” now, according to someone that jumped on my live lol. I don’t talk about linux, unless someone asks, I just have some tags that state I’m on linux
First few days on IRC back in early 00s someone pulled that on me, lucky for me I was already downloading stuff so I got a warning instead of closing the client
