After re-trying multiple times with the same result, I instead renamed to CLR_BOOT, which is Windows 10’s EFI partition.Īfter applying that change and re-launching the installer, it was able to recognize CLR_BOOT without issue and allowed me to continue with the installation. I was able to to edit the partition name of the Manjaro’s EFI partition to CLR_BOOT without issue, but after closing GParted and clicking back into the installer, it did not recognize the change I had made, and displayed a message along the lines of: “! CLR_BOOT not found”. Right-click the EFI System Partition (e.g., /dev/sda1) and select Name Partition." In the document for booting alongside another GRUB-based OS, I ran into an issue at step 8: "Share the existing EFI system partition by designating as such. I did review both documents during installation and they were helpful, but I believe I’ve found myself in a bit of a grey area. The order is Windows, Manjaro, Clear Linux.) (Here is a copy of my current fdisk read-out. What is the best way to triple boot these three systems with the least frustration?
Is this possible? Can GRUB2 boot Clear Linux? I have updated grub from within Manjaro, and os-prober does detect the correct install path and name of Clear Linux, but it does not add an entry automatically. I can boot into both Windows 10 and Manjaro just fine, and am hoping I can simply add an entry to custom_40 for Clear Linux. However, on reboot GRUB2 still loads with Windows 10 and Manjaro Linux, and no Clear Linux. It was a bit tricky getting the partitions correct by advanced installation, but it did complete successfully.
So I have the Windows 8 features toggle set to disabled right now.I just wiped FreeBSD from my system and installed a copy of the latest version of Clear Linux instead. If I enable Windows 8 features I can then choose to enable or disable secure boot, but when enabling Windows 8 features I am forced to boot with UEFI devices and my computer cannot boot.
MSI Z77A-G45 (I updated the bios to the version found here:Īfter the update in the advanced settings menu there is a Windows 8 features menu. So my question is: How can I prevent Windows 10 from changing my boot order and messing with the mounting of the NTFS storage drive?
I skipped Windows 8 so I am not familiar with this feature, and after some research I am a bit confused about Secure Boot and how to deal with it. I have a hunch it has something to do with "Secure Boot" and Windows 10, where Windows 10 prevents other bootloaders from functioning. but when the boot order gets reset I get Windows, Storage, Linux.
For the Hardisk order I want to have Linux, Windows, Storage. My boot device order is USB, Hard-disk, CD-ROM (all non UEFI) followed by others including the UEFI options. (I can use the fix provided in the link, but this is a major annoyance as there are dependencies between my Linux OS and the NTFS drive.) After changing the boot order back, my NTFS drive will not mount due to the error described, and resolved here:Ĭan't Mount NTFS drive "The disk contains an unclean file system" Here is the problem I am experiencing now:Īfter about 10 or so boots into Linux, I turn on my computer and the boot order has changed and it wants to boot straight to Windows 10.
Previously I used this exact set-up with Windows 7 instead of 10 and there were no issues with booting into my desired OS via GRUB2, as well as being able to mount the NTFS storage drive in Linux. The GRUB2 boot-loader is also on the SSD with Xubuntu. I have Windows 10 on an SSD, Xubuntu on another SSD and an HDD for storage formatted as NTFS (this is used to store music, games, documents, pictures etc.). I am currently running a dual boot of Windows 10 Home 64-bit and Xubuntu 15.04 64-bit on my machine.
