Dual Boot

[efclee]

Hi

I have Windows 10 on M.2 drive and LMC 19.1 on an SSD, now my boot loader is screwed..

I configured the drive with correct partitions.. swap etc.. and also selected Windows Boot Manager at the bottom of the installation type page under Device for boot loader installation..

If I choose to boot to WIndows Boot Manager it loads Windows 10, If I choose to boot to my SSD which has Linux installed screen goes black for 2 seconds and then shows me EUFI Bios, only way to get to Mint is by choosing one of my extra boot items both have ubuntu at the start..

Is there a way I can change this so when I power on PC I get a dual boot option?


Thanks

Well, at this point, the only thing I can think of is that perhaps you might look into a very good program called rEFInd. That should enable you to start your computer, and select whatever OS you want to boot into. I used it for a few months, and was very pleased with the way it worked, and how easy it was to set up. You should be able to find it via Google..

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, I did look at that program but I couldn't install it to my Windows 10?

The file I extracted was a .CDR, maybe that is what you install to iOS

Boot into Linux Mint, then install it there.

You can use the Debian package file for installation, should do the job for you.
