Dual boot - windows 7 encrypted + linux
 

I have problem with dual boot - win7 on first HDD, and linux mint on second HDD.

I would like that linux is set at start, where I can run Windows 7 from systems list if I like.

But I have dell m6600 laptop, and atm Windows 7 is starting all the time - no matter what disc I set up in bios.

Only when I press for boot menu, then I can select second HDD with linux, and use grub2 (v2.02) to start the linux system - windows 7 won't start from this menu.


What I can do to boot from second disc (linux one), and how can I setup grub2 to be able to bot encrypted windows 7 from grub menu list?

Wayyyy too much missing info.
- is it truly BIOS, or UEFI.
- if the latter are you running in CSM
- what type of encryption ? (describe in detail).
- which Linux - name and version

Most of this info can be correctly obtained for us by going here, and doing as it says.

If you're using secure boot, it's possible that the BIOS detects linux as potential malware trying to execute before windows, so it forces windows to run.
