I used to be able to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu, but I wanted to change to Debian. So I deleted the /dev/sda5
and /dev/sda6
partitions that were used by Ubuntu. This did not remove grub2, so I deleted grub from Windows (I used this guide: http://linuxbsdos.com/2015/09/05/how-to-delete-grub-files-from-a-boot-efi-partition-in-windows-10/). The problem is that now I can't install any linux distro in the unallocated space that was created. I have tried openSUSE, Debian and Ubuntu. The installers ran with no errors, but when I rebooted it booted straight to Windows 10. I went into msconfig and the only Operating System that is listed there is Windows. The /dev/sda5
and /dev/sda6
partitions that were created are full, but grub is not even available as a boot option. I have tried:
- Running boot-repair from Ubuntu
- Changing the partition scheme and target system type
- Using different usb sticks and tools (Rufus and UUI)
- Changing the boot order, enabling safe boot, disabling fast boot etc.`
- Enabling boot logging from msconfig
- Re-installing grub
What else can I do?
