I have 2 ssd’s. I have windows on a 1tb nvme, and just installed Manjaro on a sata3 ssd. Now I cannot boot windows. I can go into bios (f12 during boot) and select the windows drive but it will not boot. Windows worked just fine until I installed manjaro, and I have to work tomorrow, so this is a bi…

The point is, you said [image] bourne: Generally, if you have to dual-boot with Windows 10, it is always preferable to install all operating systems (starting with Windows 10) using legacy BIOS mode and MBR partitioning. and this is not true. In some cases legacy BIOS and MBR parted disk are…

You can not obviate the fact that BIOS/MBR is designed for one OS in mind and UEFI has support by design to multiple OS. In BIOS diferent OS are competing for the only MBR. In UEFI every OS has it’s own folder.For that reason only in BIOS it’s guaranteed you are going to have “problems” in dual boot…

Wrong | Try setting up dual-boot Windows 10 and FreeBSD - now or 10 years later. Once you have done, give your feedback which is better for dual-booting - GPT+UEFI or MBR+BIOS.

I must admit I don’t know what’s the problem with FreeBSD and UEFI, but I was talking about Linux and Windows. I suppose FreeBSD use here is really small.

I am glad to see that you are beginning to see my point. When we talk about dual-boot, there are only 3 operating systems which need be considered - Linux, FreeBSD and Windows. Only in the case you are setting up dual-boot Linux + Windows is GPT+UEFI acceptable. In all other combinations - meaning F…

Yes, of course I can understand that FreeBSD case is special, but where I don’t agree is that you are advising a user with Windows-Linux dual boot that BIOS/MBR is prefered. Only that is my objection.

There is one more point I must humbly make in this context. Let’s say you are currently willing to limit the use of the term dual-boot to Linux and Windows. That is okay for the moment. But what happens, say 5 years from now, when you suddenly realize there is a problem which can be solved only by i…

That’s what virtual machines are for! :smile: And shouldn’t be possible that grub+FreeBSD (if I understand you correctly) problem is solved in 5 years?

Ah, right sir ! I totally forgot about virtual machines. Yes, I give in to and accept your use-case of dual-boot to mean Linux + Windows 10.

But still please remember: My own usage requirement of bare-metal FreeBSD (a very small installation that is needed once a year) happens for the reason I need to fsck my Linux’s / filesystem (ext4) in case of an improper system shutdown. I find it much easier to fsck Linux’s / from FreeBSD than any …
