[14:27] <syed_776588> Hey all. I could use some help. So I had Xubuntu and Windows 7 on dual boot on an ideapad laptop. I had a headphone jack issue and official support told me to update the BIOS which I did. Now when I booted Xubuntu next time and rebooted the whole thing became excruciatingly slow. The bios screen would stare me for more than three minutes. Any actio
[14:27] <syed_776588> n like "entering setup" or using a boot device using F2/F12 would take almost as long.
[14:28] <syed_776588> Now I erased Xubuntu and fixed grub running boot-repair from a live ubuntu session. The problem persisted and almost felt like it got worse. The boot takes an upwards of 5 minutes now from leaving the BIOS screen alone. As mentioned before, any other action like F2/F12 takes the same amont of time
[14:29] <syed_776588> So what I'm asking is, will clean installing Ubuntu and erasing everything fix the problem?
[14:30] <diogenes_> syed_776588, unfortunately that is not os problem but bios or hdd, to rule out hdd you could try to boot without hdd.
[14:32] <syed_776588> Well the thing is that I can't rollback BIOS either. Official support tells me that it's a bad idea (they don't offer older bios versions in any case). They tell me to use the official recovery tool OneKey recovery which I can't use because it needs a "hidden partition" which I apparently don't have.
[14:34] <syed_776588> So... what should I do? I just want to use Linux on this crappy laptop, I just kept Windows for running some stuff which I don't need right now. I sold my PC and I'm pretty much broke. I could deal with slow boot but this is something else; sometimes the BIOS lingers on for five minutes...
