Get assistance with GRUB installation and boot options.
Hi, I am trying to dual-boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 and i have two storage devices. The first is a 256GB NVMe drive in which i have windows. I will not touch this. Ther e is a second 4TB HDD which holds my games. I made a 500GB Partition which is for Ubuntu. When i go in Ubuntu it sees the space and i do the / and /home. Then, when it tries to install grub it gives a fatal error. Can not execute command on NVMe-0. Should i install GRUB on the Ubuntu drive? Thank You
Place the installation media on the same drive as Ubuntu. This keeps the Windows bootloader untouched and lets you revert easily without hassle. After Ubuntu starts, add the os-prober package and rebuild GRUB. It will now locate your Windows partition and set up a fresh boot entry in GRUB so you don’t have to use BIOS boot disks when returning to Windows.
I resolved the issue without using the Windows boot manager. The Ubuntu system was slow, and basic mouse actions like right-clicking and dragging were affected. I have 16GB of RAM and a 2GB swap space.
