System:
MSI X370 Sli Ryzen 7 32GB DDR4 Ram
1TB HD << this is where windows is already installed 500GB SSD << where I try to get Ubuntu
I tried to create a dual booting windows 10 and ubuntu the following way:
I first installed Windows 10 on my HD. I then created a bootable USB with Ubuntu 16.04 on it (using Rufus). I then booted with the USB in and selected boot from USB.
In the Ubuntu installation menu I choose "Select something else" and then created two partitions on the SSD (previously made that disk unallocated space in windows). I installed Ubuntu onto a 32GB partition within there and selected the boot information to be installed there too.
I have the following trouble: if I select bootorder HD > SSD > ... , when I boot the PC and don't hit anything during booting, it just goes straight to Windows 10. (as expected)
if I select boot order SSD > HD >... , it gives me Grub Rescue, as i386-pc/normal.mod cannot be found. I checked all ubuntu questions on this and they all say to "find it manually" and it just does not exist anywhere navigating with Grub Rescue!
Further: if I hit a key to get to UEFI (F11 in this case), I am given the option to: - boot with Windows boot manager from HD - boot with Ubuntu from HD - boot from HD - boot from SSD
If I select the first, I get Windows. If I select the second, I get Ubuntu. If I select the third, I get Windows. If I select the last, I get the Grub Rescue error as above.
My question now: is Ubuntu actually installed on the HD??? It doesn't show up anywhere when I check in windows.. Further, how do I get to choose what to boot during booting without having to hit F11 the half second time frame that it gives me this option?
