    I am setting a dual boot with W10 and Linux Mint.
    These are the steps I followed:
    1. I had W10 installed in the HD.
    2. I added a SSD, and unplugged the HD (with W10)
    3. I installed LM in the SSD.
    4. Plugged back the HD.
    5. Booted up. W10 loaded.
    6. I installed rEFInd in the S drive (where the EFI directory is located).
    7. I get this error you see in the image.

    In the BIOS, Windows Manager was setup to be the first boot. Ubuntu as the 2nd (Linux Mint shows as Ubuntu here).
    After that error, I swapped them up. So now Ubuntu was the first boot.
    This allowed me to load LM.
    I just installed rEFInd via the PPA in LM as adviced in the rEFInd instructions. Hopefully this will do the trick.
    I'll reboot now... wish me luck!

    - - - Updated - - -

    It worked! Windows 10 is not found after installing rEFInd (boot manager) :)
    From now on, I'll just install rEFInd via the PPA in LM.

    Hopefully this could help someone.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    Looks to be similar to this: https://www.back2gaming.com/focus-story/ssd-optimization-for-windows-10-windows-8-and-8-1/


    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
