Can I use EasyBCD 2.4 for Win 10 on two different hard drives and a hard drive with Linux Mint? When I open 2.4 and choose Linux, all the options are greyed out. Am I doing something wrong? Right now the Win 10 HDD's are Drive C: and Drive D:. I want the Linux Drive to be my E: Drive. Can somebody help?

EasyBCD can be used to manage multiple Windows installations and Linux, but Linux partitions typically do not receive a drive letter (like E:smile: in Windows because Windows cannot natively read Linux file systems such as ext4.

If the Linux options in EasyBCD are greyed out, try running EasyBCD as Administrator and make sure Linux Mint is installed correctly with its bootloader (GRUB). Also, verify that all drives are detected in BIOS/UEFI.

For a dual-boot setup, add Linux Mint through EasyBCD's Add New Entry > Linux/BSD section and select the appropriate partition. You do not need to assign Linux a Windows drive letter for dual booting to work.
