I am trying to dual boot a computer with pre-installed Windows10. My goal is to install the latest version of Ubuntu18 in a partition. I have followed the instructions I found. I
- unflagged "turn on fast startup"
- unflagged "secure boot"
- created an installation USB key
- freed some space from Windows disk management
- rebooted and selected the option "Install Ubuntu"
everything went on smoothly until the end of the installation. Then I was asked to reboot but, as soon as I clicked that option, the computer became unresponsive. I may have done a terrible mistake here because after some (long) time I decided to switch off and back on.
Next, grub prompt appeared and it was impossible to enter either ubuntu or Windows
After some unsuccesful attempts, I just used F11 and managed to go back to Windows (which works just fine)
Now the system seems to ignore the partition or grub if I reboot. my questions
- did I mess everything up when the system seemed unresponsive or something had already gone wrong?
- since the installation seemed to be succesfully completed, is there a chance to get the grub prompt back and fix things from there?
- I am quite tempted to just delete the "broken" partition from Windows and repeat the passages, but I may solve nothing and make thing worse... or maybe not?
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance
edit: by reboot+F11+ubuntu disk I can get back to the grub prompt. then if I type
ls (hd0,1)/efi/ubuntu/
I get
./ ../ grubx64.efi shimx64.efi mmx64.efi bootx64.csv grub.cfg
