Hi,
I have an HP envy 4 laptop that I have recently upgraded with a 750 GB ssd ( + the additional built-in 32 gb ssd). I have installed windows 10 in the 750 gb drive, in UEFI mode (legacy is completely disabled in the BIOS options), letting windows use 100 GB. The windows installation went fine and it is working ok, and it has created the typical 100mb ESP partition plus a "System" and "C.\" partitions.
Now I am trying to install kubuntu in the remaining space. My goal is to install the / partition in the 32 gb in-built drive, and the rest (home +a 16gb swap) in the spare space of the 750gb ssd.
To do so I am partitioning manually the two drives using the installer option. I am making sure that kubuntu sees the EFI partition already created by windows. I add home and swap in the 750ssd as indicated above. In the 32 gb ssd, I am creating a 250MB ESP partition and using the remaining space for a / partition. The installation goes ok and I reboot the computer. Only windows 10 is detected.
I start the live kubuntu usb, install boot-repair and run the recommended repair. At some point I get the message:
Locked-ESP detected. You may want to retry after creating a /boot/efi partition (FAT32, 100MB~250MB, start of the disk, boot flag). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Separate /boot/efi partition:] option of [Boot Repair].
However the separate /boot/efi partition option is checked.
I have read the available ubuntu documentation on UEFI, but I must be doing something wrong. Normally this documentation deals with single-drive dual-boot systems. I have read also that it is necessary to install a ESP partition on any drive. Fastboot is disabled. I don't have secure boot.
Any help please?
