Change dual boot from GRUB@ to win 10 using EasyBCD

wa3ikg · 02-26-2019, 09:36 AM

Now using grub2 to boot Linux Mint and Win 10. I have a important windows program that mess up grub. Need to go to EasyBCD to dual boot.

EasyBCD boots windows and gives a boot options menu (windows or Linux].
I need to change my existing grub2 to now boot from my ext4 linux partition. This way windows will not see my Linux Mint p[artition.
Any easy way to do this?

If you can boot into Mint with EasyBCD, then do so. Then open a terminal and run:

Code:

$ sudo update-grub

That should reinstall grub to the mbr, restoring things back to the way they were before windows messed up grub.

Too little info and demand for a likely inappropriate solution aren't going to get anywhere. Go here and do as it says, then we might have enough real data to help.

A default install of windows won't see in the sense that it can write or read a Linux filesystem. Probably the only way windows will see it is in Disk Management unless you install 3rd party software. Are you using UEFI, the standard with windows 10. If so, you might read the neosmart link below.

Posting the output of the bootinfoscript or boot repair would be useful.
