OK here is my setup and how it resulted:
A Dell Studio Notebook that supports two separate sata physical discs.
I first installed Windows 10 rtm on a 500 GB HD with 2 partitions, one C for OS, other D for data. Usuall non efi install.
Then I removed that HD put in an 250 GB HD that i divided in the following partitions, common swap & home partitions, (swap and ext 4 file sys) THREE 50 GB ext4 partitions for three different linuxes: (al x64): LXLE 14.04, Sparky 4.0 KDE and Mint 17.2 XFCE, I installed them in that order "chainloading them". With that disc only in the notebook I TRIPLE booted the linuxes with grub
Then I put BOTH HDD in the notebook, setted Windwos disc as boot default and there I went.
After booting windows 10 (x64) I installed EasyBCD 2.3 Beta . Using add entries I added each one of the three linux partitions. I could not add the HDD even if Grub is installed on sda (main disk or something, I am sort of noob in linuxland)
After rebooting Windows shows me the 4 boot entries, but any of the linuxes I select boots to the same main grub menu, and from there I must select the linux I want to boot. It is sort of useless having the three linuxes if the menu just points to the same main grub
The other problem is that EACH time I reboot a linux OS I must wait till windows 10 boots nearly fully to the boot selection and then, select the os, and go all de way again.....
SUGGESTIONS, IDEAS?
