Re: GRUB on EFI

[address@hidden]

Hello Greg,

 

Any system that can't detect windows and just add it without having to edit a script (40_custom) is just broken in my opinion.

  I deleted update-grub and update-grub2 from the computer to prevent any accidents.

That's not normal.

AFAIK, the easiest way to install GRUB on an EFI computer is:
1) if there is no EFI partition on the disk, create one via Gparted (FAT32, 100MB~250MB, start of the disk, boot flag)
2) make your BIOS boot in EFI mode
3) run Boot-Repair, click the "Recommended Repair" button (it will install GRUB, and add valid entries for Windows to workaround the above bug)
