I don't remember if I ran any updates. Running on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I do have a separate drive that has Windows, but it doesn't boot even if that drive is pulled out of the machine.
The results of running a boot repair using the following links instructions: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-fix-ubuntu-boot-problems/

I can see the drive and can mess with the files on a live CD.
