Next time you make a dual boot I suggest installing using Uefi. I will go with using Linux in a virtual box idea before I take a chance. I am not doing this again as I have spent to many hours for something that might work. You'll have to use the old Control Panel, Power Settings, choose what the power button does and it's in there.

Windows 10 will grab everything it can and one failed boot will lockeverything down because of fast-boot.ĭisable fast boot inside windows. If you automount the Windows drive using /etc/fstab I recommendĪnd make sure that linux isn't trying to write to the Windows 10 partition. I dual boot Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10 and I can tell you that things are working. Gets mad when you don't do things its way. Originally posted by Lyam:Windows 10 does the following:īreaks things by updating even when you told it not toĭoes other things when you tell it not to Notice how I am over using the phrase, once again, well I have been doing it a lot. No joy, once again my Windows boot loader was corrupted which once again, required another reload. I thought maybe swapping files betwen the two OS was the cause so I thought, 'I will play that'.

However it seems after I spend some time in Linux that is when the boot loader in Windows fails. I could go between Windows and Linux just fine a few minutes at a time. I learned the hard way many years ago to disconnect all extra hard drives while loading any OS. Thank you for your time but I already did exactly what you advised here, everything. both ways should work as they use own disks. boot from HDD 1 to boot into windows or boot from HDD2 to boot into grub. testing: when you boot your PC press F12 or whatever is used on your mobo to select load order.

install grub to this HDD 2 (Important!)ģ. take off power from HDD 2 so windows can't see it and install windows to HDD1. Originally posted by Cat on Linux:alright 2 HDDs is a lot easier thing to manage.ġ. Thank you for your time.īTW, I have already thought putting Linux in a VB so I can run it on top of Windows 10. Have any of you here herd of this? Do any of you have any ideal what might be going on? Has anyone here heard of corrupting the boot loader going between the two OS? Last, please do not give me the, 'use Linux only lecture', I would love to but I have 680 hours in Skyrim SE and it will not work in Linux and that is another story. Of course if its my motherboard then why did the older two operating systems work so well together? I hate the bios on this motherboard as it does not save settings like it should. I will wager this person had an MSI motherboard just like I do with the same kind of bios. I do not think the problem is Windows 10 and linux. I spent hours on the net trying to find this problem and finely found one person having the same problem several years ago except he/she was going between Windows10 and Ubuntu 14.04.

This happened twice and to insure it did not happen again I reformatted the Linux hard drive to NTFS and it is now a back up hard drive for Windows 10. To fix this I had to completely reload Windows 10 each time. I spent 17 hours Monday trying to get the two new operating systems to work together and for what ever reason after leaving Linux and going back to Windows 10, I would lose Windows 10 boot loader.

I then decided this weekend to update to Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04. I was dual booting between Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 using the grub loader with zero issues for about 3 years. Thanks a lot.This probably needs to be asked in the hardware OS section of Steam forums but i know a lot of the Linux people hang out here and I need your help. sudo grub-install /dev/sdb -efi-directory=/cdrom/EFI i get grub-install: error: unknown filesystem.Ĭould anyone please point me in the right direction to get me unstuck? All the guides I found online were about 'repairing' GRUB when having an already installed Linux OS.sudo grub-install /dev/sdb i get grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

configure -host=x86_64 -with-platform=efi to generate the Makefile (i think my computer is UEFI since the folder /sys/firmware/efi exists)

Install all the dependencies required to run.

#INSTALL UBUNTU FROM USB GPT UEFI 18.04 MANUAL#

I read the GRUB manual up to the 'Installing GRUB using grub-install' section, but I'm getting all kinds of errors which I lack basic knowledge to understand (and couldn't find answers on Google). I'm trying to learn a bit more about Linux, and I'm trying to just install GRUB on a USB drive (ultimately I would also install Tiny Core on that same drive but for now I just want to get GRUB working, for educational purposes). I'm a Windows user but use Live Ubuntu occasionally to do some troubleshooting.
