Ubuntu 13.04 on UEFI system with Windows Boot Manager as the main loader
- by Mehrdad
On my old laptop (legacy BIOS, MBR disk), this was perfectly possible to get working:
I turn on the computer and see the Windows Boot Manager
I use EasyBCD (or BootPart, or something else) to add an option to the BCD menu which allows me to boot into GRUB, and then into Ubuntu
I can't figure how to do this on my new laptop (UEFI, GPT disk), whether in UEFI or legacy mode.
Currently I've installed (and even booted!) Ubuntu on my laptop, but only with the help of an external GRUB (on a USB flash drive).
How can I add GRUB as an option in the Windows Boot Manager on a UEFI laptop?
(No, I don't want to change my primary boot loader. So no, I don't want to overwrite the Windows boot loader with GRUB.)
