There's Ubuntu terminal code that shows up in a whole bunch of the commentary on this subject, much of which I've discovered doesn't work on my Ubuntu, much of which I don't understand at all. Sounds simple enough but structuring a newly installed Ubuntu to run my website backups freaks me out, to be honest. So I'm through trying with EasyBCD without tech support.Īt the same time, concerning Option 3, I'm deathly afraid of messing around with existing GRUB2 for fear of overwriting my existing Ubuntu which has been configured at great effort to do my github backups to my NAS drive. Obviously, so far, I don't know how to do that.
I'm not really sure there's a way to point the Windows bootloader in the right direction and, from what I can tell, EasyBCD isn't saying. So far, nothing I've done with EasyBCD solved the problem. I'm guessing that the underlying problem with EasyBCD is that the Windows bootloader can't find GRUB2. Since I still get the hanging GRUB4DOS screen after having restored Legacy Boot and idsabled Secure Boot in my ASUS motherboard UEFI (I built the machine which is my main home-office computer) and also since my existing Ubuntu 16.04 works fine on my third hard drive, it would seem my only option is Option 3.
I've spent quite a bit of time on this matter and read the support doc you've referenced early on. Stay away from EasyBCD if you really need to dual boot into Ubuntu. I'm going to boot from the drives after choosing Legacy boot from the UEFI and be done with it. If the foregoing strikes someone as pretty frustrated and p. But then I don't really know because I use Ubuntu for very limited tasks (backing up the github code for my website) and I don't really want to become a programmer who lives on Linux. I'm fairly certain at this point that mine is. But no support and an Easy BCD which, from what I'm seeing obviously, cannot solve the problem of dual booting if the problem is on the Linux/Ubuntu side. I bought the commercial version to get support for something I don't want to spend the time to understand (spent too much time already and don't - understanding boot logic for two different operating systems playing off each other is a non-trivial struggle). There is something fundamentally flawed in EasyBCD which cannot handle Ubuntu GRUB in a UEFI environment.
