boot repair after windows 10 update
Hi,
I have tried both Super Grub 2 and Boot Repair Disk
Super Grub 2 did allow me to boot into Linux Mint Qiana with the Super Grub disc in the drive but it didn't fix Grub. As instructed, here is a link to my problem on Paste Bin. http://paste.linuxmint.com/view/jimc I'm not sure if that is a capitol or small "l" in Linux
Boot Repair disc also didn't fix the problem. As instructed, I emailed a link about my problem to boot.repair@gmail.com. Here is the link.
http://paste2.org/PyOC615n I'm not sure if that is PyO or Py0 although I believe it's PyO.
Thanks for your help.

From the terminal change the EFI boot order:
Then reboot.
Code: Select all
sudo efibootmgr -o 2002,2001,0001,0005,3005
Re: boot repair after windows 10 update
Do I do this after booting with the live CD? I'll try it tomorrow. I just got home from work and it's bedtime. Thanks for your help.
Re: boot repair after windows 10 update
Yes from the Live session install the efibootmgr package and change the boot order.
Re: boot repair after windows 10 update
I've tried this several times with no luck. Actually it does change the boot order but when I reboot there is no change. When I booted again with the Live CD the boot order was back to where it was before I issued the command.
Incidentally, I had problems when I did the installation. Before this latest Windows Update, in order to boot Mint I had to stop the boot process by hitting F9, select Boot order. Then Windows Boot Loader appeared and I picked Linux. After that Grub appeared and I could pick Mint KDE.

For a simple solution, you can use EasyBCD (https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/)...

Re: boot repair after windows 10 update
Can you tell me how it works? I have the read the information but I still don't understand how it works.First I install it in Windows 10 and then what do I do? Do I reboot and it runs automatically? Do I have to configure something and if so, how difficult is it to configure?

The EFI firmware is defective, it's a common issue with computer manufacturers delivering Windows OS computers. You may look for a firmware upgrade from your computer manufacturer.Incidentally, I had problems when I did the installation. Before this latest Windows Update, in order to boot Mint I had to stop the boot process by hitting F9, select Boot order. Then Windows Boot Loader appeared and I picked Linux. After that Grub appeared and I could pick Mint KDE.
Installing rEFInd manually in the ESP is an alternative, the procedure can depend on current files located in the ESP and on the EFI firmware implementation.

EasyBCD is a Windows app that allows you to add boot information to the Windows files in order to boot Linux distros.ejazzkatt wrote:Can you tell me how it works?

To do that, you start EasyBCD and then click the Add New Entry button.
Then, on the right side of the Window, in the upper part, you select the information needed for the Linux partition.
When you save it, the next time you boot, in the Windows OS menu, you should see an entry for the Linux OS.
Also, if you go the the NeoSmart Technologies site, they have FAQs that walk through this.
Good Luck
