- 128GB SSD as internal primary
- Removed recovery partition to thumb drive
- Shrunk main partition by 20GB, to make room
- Created partition from the free space (I think ?)
- Downloaded Ubuntu Kylin 14.04.2 LTS
- Used unetbootin to burn to thumb drive (another one)
- Installed Ubuntu to the free partition...this went normally
- Rebooted
- No GRUB, went straight into Microsoft Windows 8.1
- Ran the following command:
- bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
- Rebooted
- Now GRUB appears and Ubuntu loads, but Microsoft Windows 8.1 boot manager failed to boot, with error 0xc000000e
Turns out BIOS was set to both UEFI and Legacy, with a preference for Legacy. Switching this to UEFI allowed Microsoft Windows 8.1 to load.
Loading into Ubuntu and running the following failed, the first time, because I had booted into Legacy mode:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install boot-repair
- boot-repair
So, I switched BIOS to use both UEFI and Legacy, but with a preference for UEFI. Then, I booted from the Ubuntu installer thumb drive. I selected Try Ubuntu, ran the above (after connecting to the wireless router), and voila, after following the instructions and using the defaults, a reboot now allows the choice of both.
