Windows 10: The first of a few questions regarding installing W10.

Install GRUB then use the GRUB menu to enter into your BIOS.

 

Confused.

Grub is already installed.

 

Then what does the GRUB menu show? One of the options besides Ubuntu, advanced Ubuntu, MEMTEST and the different kernels should be BIOS settings.

Whar are all of the entries listed in the GRUB menu?

 

Of course what you said about GPARTED is incorrect, I use GPARTED to modify my hard drives all the time, that is the purpose of GPARTED. Also consider adding a GRUB customizer to your Ubuntu installation to give you more booting options.

You are correct, Rocky; I am wrong. I meant the HD you boot up on.
Also, I never see grub when booting up. It goes through to my home screen.

 

For HP computer, F10=BIOS, F9=Boot Sequence, Ubuntu: Leftshit Key =Grub Menu

 

???

I don't think I want to see the emoticon for that!

 

Just booted up. Pressing the left shift key continuously. No menu appeared.

 

Where do you boot, what HDD?
Consider disabling fast sartup: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\System Settings
In Ubuntu increase the time Grub menu is shown:
Code: sudo -i gedit /etc/default/grub[/quote] Set Grub TIMEOUT to 20.
Code: sudo update-grub2[/quote] With Leftshift key you should enter the Grub menu.
About F9?

 

Where do you boot, what HDD?

Boot from SDA = 512gb SSD.


Here is /etc/default/grub

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=20
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs
# This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains
# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)
#GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

 

Install GRUB like I have been explaining to you for a couple of days. It will really help you.

 

You need to adjust your GRUB settings in order to enter your BIOS.

 

Still no Grub menu? Try adding this then (#):
Code: sudo -i gedit /etc/default/grub[/quote] #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
Code: sudo update-grub2[/quote] Set the previous one back to 10 and you should see it for 10 seconds now.

 

OK, we are getting somewhere. Grub opens with 3 options.
1. Ubuntu
2. Advanced settings.
3. System Setup.

1 opens ubuntu.
2. Turns off computer.
3 Turns off computer then restarts and repeats itself.

 

Have to leave. Try again tomorrow.
