Thanks so much for the code.
OK ... missed that. Thought "data" was the type of partition.
I will change the label and see what happens.
OK, here is the entry I added to the 40_custom file:
Here is the contents of the livecdimage.cfg file:
When I select the Live ISOs entry in the GRUB menu, the screen clears, the following...
@oldfred: Thanks for the changes -- I will try those.
@MAFoElffen -- as mentioned, I booted into the GRUB command line, did a bunch of ls commands and confirmed they pointed to the ISO files....
@oldfred:
Many thanks for the details -- but I am confused by part of what you wrote.
In the 40_custom entry, it points to a config file livecdimage.cfg
But in that file, it points to...
Thanks for the additional replies ...
My responses:
The error is what I posted -- GRUB is failing on an MFT error when trying to force a mount of the NTFS partition #4 on drive zero -- when...
Thanks for the quick reply and links ...
I read through the page and looked at the samples. and fhen booted into GRUB and then, into its command line.

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.1 and have a 40_custom file containing a list of boot stanzas, one for each ISO file I want to use.
While it works fine, the ISOs are stored in the Ubuntu filesystem in an...
Not surprisingly, it is VERY HARD to changed UUIDs in Windows -- even though it is a problem often enough that server tools have features for fixing this.
But apparently, Gparted has a selection...
Thanks for all the feedback guys.
I am going to look into modifying the UUID of the Win10 ESP -- and then rerunning update-grub to see if it generates a new stanza.
I've been using GRUB menus...
@Oldfred: I understand about using a 40_custom because I have one myself for loading ISO files. But there is a more basic issue -- HOW to word the boot stanzas correctly.
The SATA drives show up...
Sorry -- problem is not solved. That thread clearly indicates that the system would not assign the same UUID to different volumes -- but that is EXACTLY what it did to me.
Read my included...
@oldfred: I failed to mention that I had installed rEFInd boot manager in the interim -- which you will see created another boot entry.
Each Windows install was done to its own drive with only...
Recently have gone back to using Linux distros on a daily basis and notice NOW, since upgrading my PC to UEFI and a combination of SATA SSDs and NVMe SSDs, the Windows boot stanzas are no longer...
Sorry, but the same results -- text screen only on restart.
I'm giving up on this for now and looking into rEFInd as an alternative.
Thanks for all your help.
Here's the result of the mount command:
sudo mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

OK, thanks. So when I get a chance (later) I will redo the GRUB install and see what happens.
modprobe yields nothing.

Alright -- did some more research. Looks like gdm3 is the display manager for Gnome and installing that forces the Gnome desktop -- which I do not like.
So, I went to reinstall the Mate desktop...
OK folks -- we're making progress -- of sorts ...
I changed the plymouth theme to BGRT -- and got the Linux screen with rotating circle, so that implies the theme code is OK.
But it never...
@nibal: The messages scroll by way too fast to read but the last hundred or so have a green [OK] in front of them, so I'm guessing those are not errors.
@Claus7: I installed GDM3 -- and that totally hosed up my desktop. So, I booted into Recovery mode and Root, removed gdm3 package, purged lightdm package, reinstalled lightdm package.
NOW, I get...
My native resolution is 1920x1200, but I had it set down during boot to 1024x768. When I shutdown, the Plymouth splash screen displays -- so I don't think the resolution is the issue.
I then...
Sorry ... I miswrote it -- it is gdm3, and is not installed. I will install it and see if that makes any difference.
The kernel version is 5.15.0-46-generic.
Evidently, LightDM has been replaced by GDM, so it does not show up in Synaptic. But GDM, version 42.0-1ubuntu7, does show up in Synaptic but is not show...
