The company bought a alienware R2, install the dual system toss me dead, now record the installation process.

Hard disk:

256 Solid State +1T Machinery

Installation Order:

First Windows, then Ubuntu

Install the system in different BIOS boot mode

Uefi+secure on: No Grub menu, can enter Windows or Ubuntu by modifying boot order

Uefi+secure off: No grub menu, access to Windows, no access to Ubuntu

Legacy only: No grub menu, access to Windows, no access to Ubuntu

Possible cause of the problem

Use EASYBCD to view Startup items and discover Ubuntu's boot partition actually on "MBR disk", but I was clearly loaded in a GPT format hard drive, guessing that Ubuntu (grub) could not correctly identify some brands of SSD caused.

Re-install the system

Consider whether you will be able to expand the disk in the future, or select the UEFI boot that supports GPT. Uefi+secure off, first windows after Ubuntu. Considering that grub could not boot correctly, after checking the data, we decided to use Refind boot.

Booting with Refind

1. Open CMD with administrator privileges, enter DiskPart to start DiskPart

listdisk-------------------------lists the disks that are owned by the system
Select disk 0--------------------Select the disks on which the EFI boot partition is located, depending on your situation
list partition--------------------lists the partitions that are owned by the selected disk
Select Partition 1---------------Choose the EFI boot partition, the system-type partition, which is the EFI boot partition
Assign letter=p: ----------------Assign a drive letter to the selected partition, assign a free drive letter
exit-------------------------quit
taskkill/im explorer.exe/f --------------------Close Explorer,
Explorer.exe ------------------------------then open the Explorer as an administrator to access it.

Remove letter=p----------------After the modification is complete, remove the drive letter (if it is not removed, it will be removed automatically after restarting the computer)

2. Download the refind and add it to the EFI boot disk

CD c:\refind-bin-0.8.4-------------------- When you enter the dir command, you can see a refind directory

xcopy/e refind p:\EFI\refind\--------------------Copy the refind to the EFI boot area

CD P:\EFI\refind

Rename Refind.conf-sample refind.conf--------------------Renaming a sample configuration file

Bcdedit/set {bootmgr} path \efi\refind\refind_x64.efi set Refind as Bootstrapper--------------------
