Description of the problem:

Recently I tried to install Ubuntu alongside windows and after I finished with the installation windows doesn't boot correctly (power off option and advanced options only show up) and when trying to boot Ubuntu the PC is stuck on a black screen (GRUB doesn't even show up, to boot Ubuntu I changed the setting from the BIOS)

Steps I followed:

  • First I reinstalled only Windows and where working fine.
  • Then I created a partition on the second disk.
  • I created a bootable USB with Rufus with Ubuntu 20.04.
  • I changed some options on BIOS (think it was legacy support).
  • I installed Ubuntu, keeping all the pre-selected options (including install alongside Windows--I didn't make a separate partition).
  • When I restarted the computer before it shut down I forgot to take out the USB.

Things I tried:

  • Messing with some options on BIOS (I don't remember exactly).

  • Reinstalling Ubuntu with the option Erase Ubuntu LTS and reinstall (didn't erase the whole disk).

    After that when I restarted the PC (extracting the USB before shut down this time) the PC loaded grub, when I selected Ubuntu. The OS run smoothly but when I shut it down and restarted, the same issue was present.

Upon reinstalling Ubuntu with the same options, when GRUB loaded this time I selected Windows and the same issue a before was present with it.

Any ideas?
