summary |
Ubiquity proposes useless options that break Windows boot |
Ubiquity manual partitioning offers to install grub in a way that may break Windows boot |

The "Something else" option (= manual partitioning screen) allows the user to change the location where GRUB will be installed.
("Device for bootloader installation" combobox).
AFAIK, the default entry in this combobox is /dev/sda. Currently the combobox also allows to select any partition (eg /dev/sda1 , /dev/sda2...)
The following entries are useless and SHOULD be removed:
- all partitions except the partition containing /boot
The following entries break Windows boot and MUST be removed:
- all partitions containing Windows boot files (bootmgr, ntldr, EFI partitions) |
The "Something else" option (= manual partitioning screen) allows the user to change the location where GRUB will be installed.
("Device for bootloader installation" combobox).
AFAIK, the default entry in this combobox is /dev/sda. Currently the combobox also allows to select any partition (eg /dev/sda1 , /dev/sda2...)
The following entries break Windows boot and MUST be removed:
- all partitions (eg /dev/sda1 , /dev/sda2...) containing Windows boot files (bootmgr, ntldr). In other words, all partitions detected as "Windows" by os-prober.
Probably the problem is the same with systems other than Windows, so I recommend to remove all partitions detected by os-prober. |
