Check media error fail [ Windows bootloader not showing]
Hi, I have Inspiron 3521. I was installing Manjaro linux with dual boot. I successfully installed it but it doesn't not showing in boot menu. So I install it again but after installing I started getting error Check Media Fail. I tried all possible solution available on Internet such as changing boot to legacy and all that. None of them worked for me.
Windows bootloader is not showing. Only Two option is coming in UEFI that is IPV4 and IPV6 option..
Please help me to fix this.

Check media fail is usually not an OS problem, but rather a failed hard drive. Press F12 a few times at powerup, boot to the Dell Diagnostics, and let the quick tests run. If you see an error such as 2000-0151, unplug the system, remove the battery and remove and reinstall the hard drive. Run the test again -- if it recurs, the hard drive is toast.
If you see a different error such as 2000-0142, the drive is faulty and will need to be replaced.
If no error occurs with the quick tests, allow them to run again, and then choose the extended/surface test of the drive.
