Hello everyone, I'm using Windows 7 on one SSD and Ubuntu on another. Right now I just press F11 to switch to the UEFI setup screen from the ASRock splash and then pick between booting from the Windows SSD or Ubuntu. I’m not sure how to make GRUB2 the default bootloader. I think I’d need to set the first boot device to the Ubuntu SSD and adjust the MBR so GRUB2 is loaded, but I’m not confident about that. Also, what problems might arise if I ever remove Ubuntu (I’ve heard you’d have to fix Windows then)? Essentially I just want a prompt asking which OS to boot into, with an option to time out and fall back to a default. GRUB2 can handle that, but setting everything up is tricky.
