This is unlikely to be in evidence.
If you're to be a dual-booter, you have to learn all
the tricks of being a dual-booter.
You *can't* be a dual booter, by just getting recipes from people.
It's a trial and error thing. You learn about it by trial
and error. You draw conclusions, after you've done
enough of these.
The rule for Windows is:
1) Repair Install of W10/W11 will not trash GRUB.
Windows knows it doesn't need to write a boot loader in that case.
2) *Clean Install* of Windows, that will write a boot loader
and can generally be relied upon to upset GRUB. However,
this can be fixed (for example, Yanns Boot Repair CD).
You can also manually chroot in from a LiveCD and put GRUB back.
Nothing gets deleted there. Your situation would be one
of something needing a tweak to turn the lights back on.
Paul

That almost sounds like the third-pass recovery thing running, and doing a badblock scan and using $BADCLUS to mark off clusters no longer fit to be used. But that is a stretch because I'd never allow a machine to go that far. I'd boot a DVD and use Troubleshooting and Command Prompt, and work on it there. I've run into more than a few people, who will allow their storage to degrade so far, it's almost unrecoverable. Like waiting too long to clone over to a good drive. This is one of the reasons we have backups. So there is a good (but slightly old) copy of the setup, to use in a restore. Paul

But REFINING the ores is a pain in the ass. At present
China has almost all of the worlds capacity. The USA
and some EU countries are at the starting stage for
building similar facilities ... but that's going to take
a few years.
The elements ARE kind-of 'rare' too ... not like iron
or aluminum or copper.

See a recent article, for some nuances of what is going on.

The rare earths aren't coming from the Chinese mine quite
like they were.

Well, far better to strip-mine someone ELSES country ...
However the raw ores are still sent into China where
they have the needed facilities. For many technical
purposes you need rather pure elements and those do
not come out of some old steel plant in Pittsburgh.

They made exporting the ores illegal and subsidised production to a level that essentially rendered it uncompetitive to process US ores on US soil., The point is the USA already has all it needs, but at a cost that cant compete with china. All it has to do is subsidises rare earths as a strategically important industry, and re-open the neodymium mines, After spending a year pumping out the water. > The elements ARE kind-of 'rare' too ... not like iron > or aluminum or copper. "Neodymium is not found naturally in metallic form or unmixed with other lanthanides, and it is usually refined for general use. Neodymium is fairly common—about as common as cobalt, nickel, or copper—and is widely distributed in the Earth's crust" [wiki] They merely don't occur in such high concentrations or unmixed ores. IIRC they were a by product of cobalt mining. Processing neodymium makes a great big chemical mess* too.
