    Dual boot with linux: only linux boot


    Hello,

    Well I'll sum up what I did so far:

    I had ubuntu + windows 10, was working fine but ubuntu was taking too much space on my drive.

    Deleted ubuntu partitions, gave the space back to windows, boot into the windows usb drive to perform the bootrec /fixmbr,fixboot commands
    Although bootrec /scanos didn't detect any windows installation...I think that's why it doesn't work now. Did the rebuiuldbcd, didn't do anything either.

    Anyway at this point I rebooted and it worked like a charm, my windows was loading properly everytime.

    Now I installed mint after having an issue with "grub-efi-amd64 package failed to install to /target/"
    In order to solve this I had to do something quite ballsy to me at least

    I have an SSD 256GB with windows on it and a HD 2TB on which I wanted to install linux
    for some very strange reason the boot partition was apparently on the HD, which is weird I would assume it's would be on the SSD
    Anyway I deleted the NTFS boot partition and created a 500MB FAT32 boot + esp partition instead
    After setting this to be the boot partition it worked, the installation finished successfully

    Then reboot, at first I had no grub menu and it was booting directly to mint, searching the web I ended up modifying the etc/default/grub file and perform a grub-update

    worked, I now have the grub menu but no windows is listed

    I tried to run the repair-boot application, it worked, reinstalled everything, but still no windows

    os-prober doesn't return anything
    Only linux is listed when performing the grub-update command

    fdisk -l command

    I've looked on the internet but I have to say that I'm stuck, it may have something to do with the windows side of thing, but still, the issue is in grub so I'm unsure.


    I'll highly appreciate any assistance.

    Thanks,

    :)
