Okay so this has been a goal almost a year now. I still haven't figured out so I am just going to finally ask this question.
Here are things I am sure you need to know:
- My computer - ATIV Book 8
- Runs Ubuntu 14.04.1 and Windows 8.1 Pro
- Came preinstalled with Windows 8 so I it is UEFI based
So I have tried using EasyBCD 2.2 but I have had TERRIBLE exp with it. I added the entry in and everything but it still wants to boot Grub before the Windows bootloader. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm sure one of you guys know what to do hopefully. :/
EDIT: OK so if I boot the computer I get this windows 7 Bootloader with Ubuntu that doesn't work. If I boot windows and hold the shift key I get the the Windows 8 boot menu but Ubuntu doesn't work still. Buuuut if I go to "use a device" and pick Ubuntu, it will boot up Ubuntu.
I'm soooooo confused why the the entry doesn't work and why I get this windows 7 bootloader.
The error or something is \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi
by the way.
The other is \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
EDIT2: So if boot into Ubuntu after picking "use another device" and then shut down and then turn the computer on later I get the Windows 7 boot selection. Ubuntu won't boot but Windows 8.1 will. After selecting Windows 8.1 I get the Windows 8 boot selection.
Why is it doing that? I don't understand!
