I have 2 pc's and 1 laptop (all less than a year old) and all 3 have been messed with by super smart but nosy roommate. The bootloader for all three (Gigabyte,Asus and Hp laptop) runs from RAM disk (Paragon software boot it bare metal I think) on a virtual drive that has all the different drivers and firmware needed to boot the pc's and reconfigures how my drives are to be setup, how my network is setup and basically the bios is set up before any operating system is even installed. I'm learning Ubuntu because Windows is no help just trying to see how disk gets partitioned. Ubuntu gives me way more info yet I still can't seem to make any changes. Can anyone please help!!!!
