Ice9 wiki (Richard's digital stuff)
Welcome to Richard White's portal! 1)
This is intended to be a partial replica of the wiki on Crinum and Drimia,
with some namespaces only readable by users who are logged in.
Much remains to be done!
This wiki also serves as a test-bed and gateway to a number of web sites and resources, not all of which are publicly available. 2)

Rescuing Windows and dual-booting
Recovery options in Windows
Things to try
- Try disabling and/or re-enabling Secure Boot
- Look in the filing cabinet for a possible recovery disk
- “If your PC won't start and you haven't created a recovery drive, download installation media and use it to restore from a system restore point or reset your PC.”:
- Try to “reset” your PC: “Resetting reinstalls Windows 10, but lets you choose whether to keep your files or remove them, and then reinstalls Windows. You can reset your PC from Settings, the sign-in screen, or by using a recovery drive or installation media.”
- If this fails, reinstall Windows

Other stuff
A previous mis-configuration led to this URL displaying the following page: “Taxonomic cross-mapping tools” by Chang Liu, Andrew Jones & Richard White, Cardiff University School of Computer Science & Informatics (7 September 2011). I have included it here in case someone has it bookmarked, although it is now out of date and the software it refers to may not be available.
