weird dual-boot setup
In short, you're experiencing an unusual setup where your BIOS asks you to pick between UEFI and HDD during boot. This isn't typical behavior, but it can happen with certain configurations or BIOS versions. Since you're using Windows 8.1, ensure your UEFI settings are correctly configured for dual-boot compatibility. You might want to check the BIOS menu options or consult the manufacturer's support resources for guidance on resolving this issue. It’s not broken, just a bit odd—stay patient and follow the steps carefully. Cheers!
You're just starting with Linux and trying to understand dual booting. It can be confusing when you see terms like "MBR" and "boot order." The article you read explains how to modify the Master Boot Record to switch between operating systems, but it doesn’t give clear instructions on what changes to make. You might want to look for simpler guides or videos that walk through the process step by step.
