I have been spinning my wheels for hours.

Okay, so I have a Toshiba Satellite L745-S2410. I just used Rufus to Ubuntu-ify my 8GB USB drive. I have tried it with the BIOS/UEFI scheme, the GPT for UEFI scheme ,and now my last hope is the UEFI scheme.

When I pull up the Windows Boot Manager, all it shows is Windows 7. That's all its been showing this whole time. I have absolutely no idea what's going on. My computer once had a BIOS thing. I remember the menu being a solid teal and everything. Now its been replaced with this unusable boot manager.

Online forums I've read have talked about disabling secure boot. That option is not anywhere to be found on the Boot Manager. Or anywhere else for that matter.

I am pulling my hair out. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

Update: The UEFI scheme doesn't work either -_-

What you want to do cannot be done: Windows isn't Ubuntu-aware so the Windows boot manager cannot display the Ubuntu boot manager: it just doesn't work that way...

It's your UEFI or BIOS subsystem that needs to display the Ubuntu Boot Manager (GRUB) which is Windows-aware, so GRUB can display the Windows boot Manager.
