Hi fellow Ubuntuns,
I've tried several different solutions found on various forums to no avail. Most solutions are getting Ubuntu to be seen in the boot entries and not vice-versa. Its a convoluted story FYI.
1. Bought a refurbed Clevo laptop. To my surprise it came with Windows 10 installed; "Oh cool, I don't have to buy it."; proceeded to install a free update to 11 and numerous security patches.
2. Having Ubuntu is a necessity because its my everyday OS since I was a kid. However! I planned to install (2) 2 TB NVME's. So I install one and migrated Window's to that drive.
3. I uninstall the OEM 128 GB drive and replace it with the second 2 TB drive. Now its time to install Ubuntu. I haven't done this in years so I'm rusty.
4. The installer refuses to install Ubuntu on the second blank drive automatically. It keeps insisting on installing it next to Windows on the other drive so I manually forced the root directory onto the drive I wanted.
5. Upon reboot the Windows entry in Grub is gone. The partitions are there, I can see them in Gparted, however I can't get Grub to see them via update or mount them either with Gparted or in the terminal.
6. I know Windows was untouched because I installed Ubuntu on a separate drive, however, lost the Grub entry and want to recover/reinstate it. I have not tried using a windows live usb yet because I don't think it would play well, if at all, with Grub.
Thank you kindly in advance for any and all advice or pointers,
Tiloylin Speigel
