Dear Forum,
these are my very first steps with Linux in general and i am looking for help to fix my bootloader.
win10 is installed on drive1 (ID-1: /dev/nvme0n1 vendor: Samsung model: SSD 970 EVO 500GB )
i created a bootable usb-stick with manjaro and installed on drive2 (ID-2: /dev/sda vendor: Crucial model: CT275MX300SSD1)
in the installation process, i had the option to install the bootloader on drive1, but i wasn’t sure about that and selected drive2 instead. (i wanted to switch system with my bios boot menu)
now, whatever i select in my bios boot menu, manjaro will startup, and i have no option to boot windows.
please correct me if i am wrong:
from my beginner level, i understood for now, that my windows had no bootloader installed and the drive was selected from the bios. after my manjaro installation the ‘real’ bootloader now kicks in and boots up manjaro (of course).
i tried
sudo update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found theme: /usr/share/grub/themes/manjaro/theme.txt
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-5.9-x86_64
Found initrd image: /boot/intel-ucode.img /boot/initramfs-5.9-x86_64.img
Found initrd fallback image: /boot/initramfs-5.9-x86_64-fallback.img
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+/memtest.bin
done
But windows was not added.
–
i want to learn more about the ‘bootloader’ system, to understand it more and i want to learn the linux utillities how to tackle the problem.
thanks in advance.
i appreciate your help with command lines and would love it, when you could comment on them for my understanding.
