Hi there,
Before I carried out the install I checked to see if there was a newer
bios for my motherboard and there was.
Updated it and then carried out the install from scratch using EFI mode.
The main drive C: is a 1TB SSD. but it is not seen as SDA1 but SDD1 so
the install i=of grub failed again.
I installed a program called boot-repair and ran it.
This allowed me to tell system to use SDD1 to install grub2 on.
This it did and system is now working fine.
I can now duel boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Thanks for your help.
Yours faithfully,
David C. Findlay.
