Hello,
I just installed EasyBCD to help dual boot Win 10 and Ubuntu on separate disks in my laptop. In the main SATA location is an SSD with Win 10 and in the DVD drive bay is an HDD with Ubuntu. Both are Legacy BIOS. Win 10 uses MBR in /dev/sda1 and Ubuntu GRUB2 which is at /dev/sdb.
I am trying to use the Windows bootloader to give me a selection screen where I can choose Win 10 or Ubuntu and have a configurable timeout.
I think I am almost there. I installed EasyBCD and added Ubuntu to the bootloader. When I boot up I can choose between Win 10 and Ubuntu... if I choose Win 10 it continues booting into Win 10 but if I choose Ubuntu it actually reboots first then takes me to the GRUB2 menu for Ubuntu.
Is that normal behavior? Why does my laptop have to reboot if I choose Ubuntu from the Win 10 bootloader screen? Did I set it up wrong with EasyBCD?
Cheers,
Flex
