I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 from live USB beside windows 10; but there is no grub and it boots directly to windows. I already did everything suggested in other questions but no luck. I retried the install with and without /boot partition, did the mount
thing, but still no sign of grub. The last things I tried were these:
sudo grub-install --target=i386-pc --force /dev/sda7
sudo grub-install --target=i386-pc --force /dev/sda4
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ --force /dev/sda
sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ --force /dev/sda
it shows a warning message as:
Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.
and says Installation is finished; but when I restart, there is still no grub. my partitions are:
sda7 --> boot
sda6 --> home
sda5 --> swap
sda4 --> /
sda2 --> C:
sda1 --> windows boot manager (efi)
