Hi everyone,
This is a continuing issue from the Ubuntu Forums: [Elementary OS] Dual-boot Elementary OS and Windows 8.1 - 64-bit UEFI - the moderator there recommended that I post my question here instead.
I have Windows 8.1 and Elementary OS (an Ubuntu variant), both 64-bit and using UEFI, currently installed on my computer. It boots to Windows first, and then after setting it up with EasyBCD, I get a nice Metro option between Windows 8.1 and Elementary OS. However, selecting the Elementary OS option gives me this error: http://i.imgur.com/DCXZ4FM.jpg (Missing file/contains errors: \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr, Status: 0xc000007b). Pressing ESC and going to the UEFI boot options gives me this screen: http://i.imgur.com/vkjaOal.jpg which allows me to boot into Elementary OS's grub.
This isn't ideal, since it would be better if grub started once the Elementary OS option is picked from the Windows Boot Manager, instead of getting an error and then having to go to the UEFI settings. I would also like to keep the Windows bootloader since it looks much nicer than grub. I have already tried running Elementary's boot-repair with varying results, none of which resolved my issue (and probably destabilized my computer too). I tried switching the indicated drive on Elementary from C:/ to E:/ (which is where Elementary is installed), but that just reset the bootloader entries.
Can someone help me with this? It would be greatly appreciated.
