I was able to make it work. Can now dual boot as I desired. To be honest -- I'm not entirely sure what the solution was to this problem. But, I'm glad it's working. Thanks for all your help @oldfred

When I woke up today, I booted into the hard drive without the USB in the computer, and it booted into Linux successfully. I have no idea why it’s working now. I’m skeptical really. Is there a way I...

Sorry, I meant that I was booting to a GNU Grub, not a grub menu. Are you thinking this is something to do with the moderboard, perhaps a BIOS setting I'm missing or something? I could always just...

Hey @oldfred I tried to boot into the hard drive, but was faced with a GNU grub menu. From there, I tried to find the kernel, but couldn't find it.

Anyway, so I ran boot-repair again, this time...

If everything is correct, then why am I getting a grub-error? What would be my next step? Should I try the recommended boot-repair, or just try to boot into the hard drive.

Also... I am using the...

It unfortunately did not. Same error as before. I forgot to mention in my latest post that when I boot up from the USB, I edit the grub line parameter
linux casper/vmlinuz ...

Here is the attempt for the new SSD install.

1) -- The SSD and BIOS are confirmed to be on the latest firmware updates.
2) The boot mode is confirmed to be UEFI


ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ #!/bin/bash...

Alright, that sounds good. Yeah, the only operating system currently working on my computer right now is Windows.... so I'll update the firmware using the Window's Magician Software. Thanks for the...

I'm not sure. Tomorrow I will take out both NVME hard drives, and attempt an install on a samsung 860 evo SSD. I will boot into UEFI mode, with secure boot disabled. I will ensure the SSD is a GPT...

I hear you. But, the BIOS only has 1 adata NVME. After school today I will remove and then install the NVME hard drive again to see if the BOOT in the bios will recognize it.

Interestingly enough,...

Oddly enough, the NVME isn't even showing up as an option in the Boot menu of the MSI bios.

I'm getting an error on the line efibootmgr install attempt



ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo efibootmgr -v

So.. Just to re-confirm your instructions here @oldfred

Right now, I have the /dev/nvme1n1 with a partial failed install on it. I'm not wiping it. I'm booting into the live USB and then deleting...

I don't have any data on the nvme1n1 drive to save, as its sole purpose is to have the linux installation on it. I went to GParted and changed the partition table to GPT.

Here's proof of the...

Hey @oldfred, I can get back to you in around 3 hours (after school). Just for clarification, the NVME drive is not GPT, thus the partitions are MBR. It's just the NVME, and not the live USB flash...

Note: I am trying Ubuntu 20.04 again. Also, I disabled the boot flags on the windows hard drive in an attempt to fix the error, but no luck.

Hey @oldfred Regarding the fstab solution, it did not work.

I was going to provide code, but my monzilla firefox crashed and would not let me post the logs. I attempted the install from a live...

Yeah I do need to fix that. However, when I removed the windows drive from the computer, I still got the same error. So I doubt the ubuntu uefi boot entry in there is the causation of the error....

Note: I put the windows hard drive M.2 back in the computer for school use. I wiped the linux M.2 I was trying to install on, but can try the installation again later.

Anyway, I booted into the...

According to the Adata website and the Adata SSD toolbox, my NVME drives both have the latest firmware. So, it's not the hard drives. It shouldn't be the motherboard. I have the correct BIOS...

That is really strange! I was just re-attempting before reading your comment, and while in the live session, without changing anything, it now says the disklabel type is gpt! Still giving me a...

Here is more information. Going through the install again, I thought I could provide the logs of some terminal info to respond to @dragonfly41, who referred me to a bug. The solution to the bug at...

Hey @oldfred I have tried again to install Linux, and have run into some errors. I am hoping maybe you can help me decode these error messages? Maybe they hint to the solution? (By the way, I'm...

Right, I did exactly that... but instead of sdc1 I did nvme1n1p1 or something along those lines. I coped the directory from fdisk -l

The EFI partion of the nvme needs to be on /target/boot/efi, correct? I did check and it was correct, but I unmounted and mounted it again.
