Linux Mint Not In Boot Menu Windows 7 On A
However, upon restarting, the boot menu refused to show the Mint OS.Since about 2 years I use Linux Mint and Windows on 1 PC(dual boot). This went along well, and I seem to have completed it without a problem. 'Alrighty.' I thought, and followed the PDF instructions from the Mint site. I am running Windows 7 on a 64x computer, and have decided to dual boot Mint 15 as a first Linux OS.

The only thing that works for now is Window$.So the only specs about my system that I can give are the ones I posted above, being:Operating System : Windows 10 Pro and Linux Mint in dual boot.(but Mint doesn't work anymore for the moment)And about the UEFI/BIOS: Asrock UEFI FM2A78M-HD+There is also this prog Speccy which can provide every little detail aboutMy system by making a link which I could post here. It works well for creating BCD menu-entries.The auto-creation of boot menu-entries for linux is effectively chainloading the PMBR (partition mbr),And by this far not robust enough and often not working.In advanced mode it provides to edit grub4dos menu.lst.So yes, for BIOS-MBR system it might work well, but for MX Linux you would need to manuallyEnter the linux/intird line into menu.lst convert to the GRUB1-syntax.For booting UEFI-system it is not very helpfull as grub4dos will have trouble here.I do rather recommend to not use “bcd”-bootmanager or efi-botmanger of that osBut use instead GRUB bootloader to boot all avail OS, for both variant BIOS and UEFI!I never run into issues having grub bootloader, even after those monster updates of that OS.In same cases I provide simply one BCD entries in the bootmenu of that OS to chainload just GRUB,Fehlix, I would use inxi -F in a terminal but that's part of the problem.The "error" message I wrote in my original post, I get it trying to start MX butAlso when I try to start Mint. Or isn't that possible?Did I make a wrong choice of root and grub possibilities when installing from the flashdrive?All I can find is the brand and type: Asrock UEFI FM2A78M-HD+As you can read I am rather new to all of this (especially the installing part :-) )But I liked Linux Mint so I wanted to try MX Linux too.Thanks in advance for any reaction and greetings from Belgium!!*****************************************************************************************Operating System : Windows 10 Pro and Linux Mint in dual boot.RAM: 8 GB Single-Channel DDR3 798MHz (10-10-10-30).I am clueless when it comes to EasyBCD on Windows.Well, EasyBCD is a smart gui-wrapper around grub4dos for that other os. It's like one Grub replacedAnother and doesn't work. For the first word,Tab lists the possible completions of a device/filename]When I hit Tab, I get a list of possible commands.
Maybe you find this betterMy apologies for possibly not being clear on some things but English is not my native language.Thanks in advance for the time you put in helping me out. (I've already done this for complete other reasons and it worked perfectly)But when I do that, I don't want to make the same mistakes when I want to install MX again.
