Hello everyone, I own a PC with three storage drives. The first SSD is dedicated to Ubuntu 18.04 [SATA3_0], the second to Windows 10 [SATA3_1], and the third is for other files [SATA3_2]. When booting, I usually see a GRUB menu where I can select either OS. After reinstalling Windows, it became corrupted and I couldn't load it from GRUB. Following a guide, I fixed it and now both OSes work fine. However, in BIOS I noticed an extra entry for Ubuntu on the Windows drive—should I remove that? Deleting it shouldn’t harm either OS, but I’m unsure if it’s safe to leave it as is.

Have you attempted the command as root update-grub? Typically, in a dual-boot setup, Linux is installed last. By the way, thanks for the Unixmen reference!

It doesn't affect the operating system. Using a grub editor or making manual changes mainly alters the launcher. I haven't worked with it recently, but likely there are tools available for Linux GUIs or Windows. Looking up "grub editor" should yield several suggestions.

I attempted to modify the grub configuration file /boot/grub/grub.conf in Ubuntu, but the desired entry wasn't present.
