Hi there,
I have just confirmed using Paragon Hard Disk Manager 15 that both the disk
I am installing Linux onto and my main drive are Basic MBR Hard Drives. My
other drives are all GPT but they are solely Windows drives and therefore
have no effect on the install.
When the install askes me about it seeing an EFI type bios and ask it to
use the EFI install.
The install completes and then grub 2 fails to be written to the mbr of sda
which is also my C: drive for my windows install. I am going to rewrite the
MBR completely using windows recovery dos window and try again.
Yours faithfully,
David Findlay
