| Jul 5, 2015 at 8:00 | comment | added | JREAM | Your answer is pretty correct, however I couldn't figure out what they ment to boot Linux in EFI mode. The trick is to keep UEFI on and move the Boot Order of the USB stick to the TOP to boot in insecure mode. | |
| Jul 2, 2015 at 14:57 | comment | added | ljrk | Not only without updating the EFI partition but using the MBR. That is, he needs to also install the whole EFI backend update the partition manually and change a hell of options rendering is a rather useless thing - I still recommend reinstalling (as I wrote) as doing the whole EFI thing is distribution-specific and might prove very difficult. That's all what I wrote and all I can write. | |
| Jul 2, 2015 at 14:41 | comment | added | Ramhound | If the problem is he installed Ubuntu without updating the EFI partition, you can explain, how he acomplishes that. I would also agree thats the problem. | |
| Jul 2, 2015 at 14:18 | comment | added | ljrk | Eeeh, AGAIN: How should I address the issue of it beingimpossible? That's not possible. | |
| Jul 2, 2015 at 13:56 | comment | added | Ramhound | I will delete my comments then. I have provided feedback. If you address my concerns then I can reverse my vote. | |
| Jul 2, 2015 at 13:15 | comment | added | ljrk | I did understand you. The problem is I cannot give him a reply HOW to solve the problem as THERE IS NO solution except what I stated: "Either reinstall Ubuntu or Windows". There is an EFI partition, yes, that's all good - but you can create as many EFI partitions as you want - it simply won't help as it won't be able to boot from MBR or EFI | |
| Jul 2, 2015 at 13:00 | comment | added | ljrk | I explained that it won't work the way he tries to make it work. The answer may not be the answer he want but I simply can't change it. And judging from "I am going to try using the boot-repair-disk, it appears you can install Ubuntu in Legacy or EUFI mode" I guess that he actually does NOT know that it won't work. As far as I understand he just thought he misconfigured. While this still being possible, even with correct config this won't run. | |
