Did you boot in UEFI mode? If yes, Ubuntu attempted to set up GRUB on your main drive’s EFI partition. Windows usually allocates only 100MiB there, which is insufficient for both the Windows bootloader and GRUB with its entries plus the UI. Launch the Ubuntu live setup, remove the Ubuntu files from the EFI partition, and restart. Remember to create partitions manually and set mount points on the USB drive during installation. The FAT32/EFI partition should be at /boot/efi, while the Ext4 (or your chosen) file system can go at /. Proceed with the install.
You likely chose the second hard drive for installing Ubuntu and the second USB drive as the boot loader installation medium. In this scenario, the USB must be connected for Ubuntu to load its kernel and other components. However, the operating system is already installed on the second hard drive. Some suggest you can make a bootable USB with extra space for permanent data, allowing you to run Ubuntu without installing it directly on your PC. Since you have an additional spare disk, you could simply use that instead.
On Windows I've previously used YUMI: https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multi...b-creator/ Persistent ensures your adjustments remain.
Restart the second installation of Ubuntu onto the existing Windows setup and switch it back to NTFS so it can be recovered for Windows use.
You can create a bootable USB with Ubuntu and install it on a single USB drive. Then, use that USB as your primary boot device on any PC.
Yes, you can use an ISO that comes preloaded with Ubuntu, which includes all necessary files for a persistent installation.
Sorry for the confusion. You can make the installation persistent by using the "Persistent Installer" option during setup. Alternatively, you can download a full Ubuntu version from the official website and follow their installation instructions. Let me know if you need help with that!
You check a box to ensure the USB installation stays active after setup. Create the USB using tools like YUMI or LiLi; follow instructions on sites such as https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14912/cr...ash-drive/. Download the ISO file, which can generate programs automatically. Choose the storage size you need. Be aware that performance won't be optimal during a live boot.
