Jul 5, 2015 at 7:24 comment added JREAM I have solved it, 90% here is the solution on my X1 Carbon: ### In BIOS: - Disable Secure Boot - Change your Boot Order so that USB HDD - This is important otherwise Ubuntu will NOT boot in EFI mode or whatever you want to call it. - You can install Ubuntu this way, or if it's already installed follow these instructions from a live-cd or USB @ help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair - Next, after this go back into Windows and open BCDEdit -- and you have to Dink around with that and This part im stuck at.

Jul 2, 2015 at 5:23 comment added JREAM I am going to try using the boot-repair-disk, it appears you can install Ubuntu in Legacy or EUFI mode (help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI)
Jul 2, 2015 at 4:49 comment added JREAM @Hennes that is depressing and I will cry. Here is a screenshot of my drive i.imgur.com/QRJI2eN.png
Jul 2, 2015 at 4:27 comment added Hennes On your GPT disk you will find a 'system' partition (probably FAT32 formatted). Which boot loaders are present on that? Are they all added to the UEFI variables?
Jul 2, 2015 at 4:26 comment added Hennes "If I set the firmware to legacy only, but then Windows won't work." Yup. Either have it on legacy mode and install windows in that mode. Or use UEFI mode, boot UEFI mode and install windows that way. Either. No changing in between.
