What has happened: I had installed Windows on my hdd abdicate Ubuntu 14 on the ssd. Home and swap were also on the hdd.

Then I decided to remove Windows and deleted all (exceptthe home and swap) Partitions on the hdd.

Then I tried to reboot but it was not possible to boot from ssd.

Further information: BIOS settings are ttached as screenshots. GParted screenshots I took with a live CD are also attached.

Question: Can anybody tell me what to do now? I would really like to boot into my Ubuntu.

whats the error? what does your grub look like you could reinstall grub. Boot to live cd and do fdisk -l find your hardrive "/dev/something" and do grub-install /dev/whatever.

I'm not shure at all, cause I`m just an SoftwareDEveloper for Microcomputer, but here are some suggestions and further information.

I'm running a ThinkPad E540. In Bios UEFI is Enabled. After selecting one device in Boot Menu the screen becomes black for about one second, and then the Boot Menu is shown again. Maybe the MBR and GRUB was located on the HDD and I deleted them, because the HDD is now empty, except the home partition and the swap partition.

I figured out a first solution:

First I created a small partition on the HDD (/dev/sda1) and marked it with the boot-flag. Then I was able run grub-install /dev/sda. Then I rebooted and disabled Secure Boot and disabled UEFI in Bios. After that I was able boot. I saw the GRUB Bootloader and selected my Ubuntu and it booted up. :-)

But while loading Ubuntu it says on the Screen that it was not possible to mount /boot/efi.

Well I can go on now working with my system, but if someone has further Ideas, please let me know.
