Hello,
my previous system was:
- 1 TB drive with Windows 7 (partitioned into C: and D:)
- 2 TB drive with Ubuntu Mate 17.10
from yesterday my new setup is:
-
250GB SSD with Windows 10
-
1 TB drive (the previous Windows 7 drive) for files, movies, etc…
-
2 TB drive on which I installed Ubuntu Mate 17.10
I first installed Windows 10 on the 250 GB SSD drive (while the 2 TB drive with Ubuntu Mate 17.10 was disconnected) After the installation, I booted into Windows 10 to check if everything was OK and then deleted the ex-Windows 7 install from the 1 TB drive.
To be sure to make no error, I disconnected the SSD and also the 1 TB drive and then I made a fresh installation of Ubuntu Mate 17.10 on the 2 TB drive and rebooted to check if the install was OK and then reconnected the SSD drive and the ex ‘Windows drive’. Windows 10 is booting automatically.
From BIOS, I booted into Ubuntu Mate and ran “sudo update-grub” and then change the priority order in BIOS so it would search into Ubuntu Mate drive first. On reboot, grub appears but instead of Windows 10 and Ubuntu Mate options, I get Windows 7 and Ubuntu Mate. And of course, right now I cannot boot into Windows 10 from grub but from BIOS.
Do you have any idea about what went wrong? Maybe something during the installation/partitioning of the Ubuntu Mate drive, so there is still traces of Windows 7 in grub?
Thank you very much.
