  2. Uninstall Ubuntu Dual boot and Repairing Dual Boot in Windows 10

    Hello.

    I had dual-booted my Dell laptop which came with preinstalled Windows 10. I had dual booted with Ubuntu 16.04 by creating a partition on the disk. To remove this dual boot, i.e. I only wanted to keep Windows 10, I formatted the disk, drive F(in my case),
    where Ubuntu was stored. But, now whenever I boot my system, a black grub screen comes with the following message:

    "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device completions.

    grub> _"

    Upon writing 'exit', I am able to enter Windows.

    1. I wish to know the reason behind it and how it can be removed.

    2. I found this site, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1123089/uninstall-ubuntu-dual-boot, I went ahead and performed all the steps. But somehow
    ended up with this error.

    Also, I saw your reply on this thread Redirecting.
    But it did not help me to remove my error. I will really appreciate your help in removing this error.

    Thank you.

    Ubuntu and several Windows partition is not detected in Windows Disk Management | Dual Booting

    I have a problem regarding dual-boot installation of Ubuntu. I'm not very familiar on dual-booting but I follow several turtorial to do it. During installation of Ubuntu as dual-boot, I did not choose the option of manually partition, instead i choose the automatically partition and resize it to match the amount of unallocated storage. After installation, it works perfectly fine for both windows and ubuntu. However I found that my Ubuntu and several partition is not detected in Disk Management.

    The steps for installation:

    • Shrink local disk E: (HDD) for unallocated space
    • Bitlocker is disabled
    • Disabled secure boot and fast startup
    • Boot from UEFI USB Ubuntu
    • Install alongside Windows Boot Manager
    • Partition: choose the default installation instead of manually partition (Using manual partition did not detect unallocated space)
    I have 2 storage, SSD (Windows/ Disk 1) and HDD (Several Windows programs and data/ Disk 0). The HDD storage has several partition;

    • Local Disk D: 510.82 GB for some applications
    • Local Disk E: 225.37 GB for data
    • Unallocated: ~195 GB
    Even though it works perfectly fine, I'm afraid it will cause issues in the near future, and i want my linux partition and windows data partition to be shown in disk management. Can you please help me on this issue. It also shows Local Disk D and E which has windows applications and data to have red x indicator in disk management.

    My idea: my current solution is probably to delete volume for Local Disk D and E to delete Ubuntu and delete several data I have in windows to reinstall ubuntu back using manually partition. However a second opinion or more can be my consideration to not delete my file in windows.

    Thank you for your attention

    Help with dual booting Win 10 and Ubuntu

    This is your whole problem. What you should have done is to put GRUB in sdb1 and Windows Manager in sda1 so that Windows Boot Manager is in control.
    So what suggested above will not make any difference. GRUB is still in control of booting process.
    To fix your problem. You will need to:
    1. Move GRUB from sdb to sdb1
      |grub2 - how to move grub boot from one partition to another in linux - Ask Ubuntu
    2. Rebuild The Windows Boot Manager ie. create a brand new BCD to boot Windows 10.
    3. Once done with steps 1 and 2 above. Windows will not know UBUNTU exists and vice versa.
      Depend on the priority set in the BIOS, it will boot directly into that OS.
      However, you can boot either one from Boot Menu (Using whatever key that your Laptop assigned to: F2, F10....)
      Since I hate Dual Boot and seldom boot into Linux, I will stop here.
      Now, go to step 4 to create dual boot.
    4. Use Easy BCD to create an entry for dual boot with UBUNTU. Once done, you should get a nice GUI dual Boot Menu
      and it will boot directly into either Windows or UBUNTU.

    Here's the detailed explanation: How can I move windows 10 boot files to another drive to allow linux
