For several years I have used EasyBCD to dual boot Windows (now at 10) and Ubuntu. I use the Windows boot manager and install Ubuntu in a separate partition. When I install Ubuntu, I specify the Ubuntu partition as the boot loader to avoid overwriting the Windows MBR. Then I use EasyBCD to add Ubuntu to my Windows boot manager. This has worked up until the current release (17.04) of Ubuntu.
When I select Ubuntu from the (Windows) boot manager, I get dumped into grub with the grub> prompt. Even grub doesn't seem to work properly. When I use "ls" at the grup> prompt, I get "Error 14: Filesystem compatibility error, cannot read whole file."
My system is about 5 years old and uses a BIOS. I suspect that the Ubuntu installer has placed a boot file in a location that grub cannot reach, but I don't know. Any ideas about how I can fix this?
