Yes the problem has to do with UEFI. The thing is, I've came here numerous times. I can never get sufficient help to get a successful install. And then, when I uninstall, I have so many more problems...

So I would like to install and use Ubuntu, well try to at least. I have tried and failed many times. I am on a Samsung Series 7 Chronos Laptop (NP780Z5E) with UEFI installed. My main problems came...

Ok what I am saying is:

C:/Windows/Boot/EFI has NO Ubuntu folder. Or at least I can NOT see it from within Windows. I have C:/Windows/Boot/EFI/ bootmgfw.efi and bootmgr.efi

BUT in the recovery...

So where should the ubuntu folder be in the efi partition? It is NOT in Windows>Boot>EFI in my main C:/ drive. I only saw it in the recovery partition.

What is with viewing a specific forum or topic, then going to log in, and it redirecting me to the "Ubuntu Forum Community" where all subforums are listed. Is there not a way to be redirected back to...

See I have read MANY things and TRIED many things but I always have problems. Most recently:

Installed Ubuntu in UEFI mode with secure boot off. Both OS's booted. Ran updates on Ubuntu and it...

So what should I do out of what I /think/ I should do?:

1. Use OS-Uninstaller to uninstall linux.
2. Delete the Ubuntu folder in my EFI folder on my SAMSUNG_REC partition.
3. Delete Ubuntu...

Wow. Thanks for all the answers! Could you recommend a lenovo/Asus laptop that meets the mid ranged requirement as well as DECENT specs like battery life and resolution etc.

I want one because I...

UPDATE:
Here is where the folder is. It is in my SAMSUNG_REC partition in EFI. Should I delete this folder?

I tried using the efibootmgr to remove the entries but it didn't work. BUT I did find the ubuntu folder in the SAMSUNG_REC partition which I can only see in ubuntu, its in EFI/Boot/Microsoft and its...

I apologize if these have been answered before. I am relatively knew with Ubuntu and System76 and have some specific questions that I'd like answered. Thanks!

1. Are these laptops...

That is my boot info summary from restoring EFI backups. Thanks!!! It worked. Now I have another question:

I currently have FIVE entries in my UEFI boot menu:
Windows Boot Manager (...)
Windows...

And then I will boot Windows automatically?

Here it is:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/6073538/

I go into my UEFI and select Windows Boot Manager to boot from, and there are 2 entries for this, and they both boot me into grub.

ALSO: I can NOT boot into ubuntu. I added nomodeset and it...

Ok here's something interesting:

I DON'T have the bkpbootmgfw.efi file in my EFI directory, BUT IN GRUB it says boot from that file, and it boots me into windows. Why can't I find the file though?

I AM IN THIS DIRECTORY:

C:\Windows\Boot\EFI

The ONLY files I see are (other than folders):

boot.stl
bootmgfw.efi
bootmgr.efi
memtest.efi

I have the bootmgfw.efi file in that directory from post 40. Where exactly do I need to copy it? And if I copy it over, will this boot windows directly?

Through grub.

CURRENTLY: My machine will ONLY boot Windows 8. I ran the updates and I think that broke ubuntu. I JUST WANT TO REMOVE UBUNTU. So what should I do?

So I should run boot repair, and select rename EFI files? And then restart the ocmputer? I think I hit the option to backup and rename AGAIN after I reinstalled ubuntu after deleting the partition....

Well I previously deleted the ubuntu partition, and had to REINSTALL ubuntu to be able to boot back into windows. Will the rename efi files work since I did this?

Actually Oldfred, could you please tell me how to COMPLETELY REMOVE ubuntu and everything associated with it?

I know that JUST deleting the Ubuntu partition WILL NOT do it because I cannot boot...
