One great Norwegian comic strip, Lunch (similar to but different from Dilbert) had a great strip not too long ago. A new employee meets one of the old, well known ones:
- I have lots of knowledge, but I am not very good at solving real problems...
- So where did you earn you Ph.D?
- I didn't say that I have a Ph.D.
- You sort of did...

Um ... Dilbert[^] did it ten days ago.

OOOps ... when I saw the Dilbert strip, I recognized it. I read "Lunch" and "Dilbert" side by side on the same web site, and this time I mixed them up. Sorry about that.
But the humour of "Lunch" is of a kind where this strip would fit very nicely in.

I had a cousin who had 5 Batchelors, 3 Masters and 2 Doctorates - he couldn't get a job for love nor money - not even in academia! He ended up editing his CV to only include a couple of relevant degrees and finally got employed!
I also interviewed a guy who had a PhD and was very keen that everyone knew that and thought that would get him the job automatically. He was very condescending to the two us conducting the interview until we mentioned that we both had PhDs as well! He didn't get the job - in fact, we hired a guy with a bit of relevant experience but no degree at all. He did very well.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Certainly not. The Farenheit degees are smaller, so there is far less in a Farenheit degree than in a Celsius degree.

A thermometer is bi-polar; half the time it's hot and the other cold.

These mercurial debates over K vs. C Vs F for degrees are, just a pointless temperature tantrum and Rankine very low in my opinion

Why, yes, it does because it has gone to gradual school.

So it looks like the SSD drive was the EFI partition and the C drive, which had windows 10 on it.
The other disk had windows 7 on the D, and some data drives.
Running the recover partition manage, from Hierens boot CD (now efei and windows 10, as always, a really good tool), I had to re create a partition on the SSD for EFI, named it the C drive, and do the steps form here: Fix the MBR – Guide for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10[^]
cd /d c:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\
Then type the bootrec command to repair the volume:
bootrec /fixboot
Type this command to recreate the BCD
bcdboot D:\Windows /l en-us /s C: /f ALL
It boots into windows 7 now, but of course windows 10 is lost (as if I care).
What is weird is how sometime on monday from shutting it down to tuesday morning the SSD got nuked.
Perhaps it is hardware failure, if it fails to boot again it looks like this is the case, but at least I know how to get it back anyway.

My SDD manufacturer (SanDisk) has a "SSD Dashboard" which gives details of the drive health status (99% life remaining in my case, and has been for several years)
It might be worth checking if yours does something similar?

most likely a w10 "update" 'fixing things up for you' - known issue on multi boot with 10 & updates.

I think it might have been a windows up date actually. There was a splurge of them on monday.
But to hose the SSD drive though, dear oh god!

In a VM, right?

The other way around is far more reliable. Set up a Docker container under Windows (Windows can run both Windows and Linux flavor containers, but not the other way around) with bash and apt-get: That should be enough for everbody. At least for Linux guys.
A shell and a case sensitive file system and command interpreter is all it takes to make a Linux guy happy, as long as he can apt-get all that he needs for the current session. A Docker container has internet access and can do command line I/O. What more do you need?
As soon as the session is closed, the container purged, everything is cleaned up and gone. That is a great way to make Linux available on a Windows PC.

Yeah, about that... The goal (for me) is to remove Windows from the box completely. I only keep it around in a VM so I can do the occassional Windows dev stuff. 99% of my time is spent in the host Linux OS.

I have done this quite a lot, but sometimes the setup doesnt suit a VM.
