My laptop run on Windows 10 Pro. I tried Ubuntu on same hard drive and did the Dual Boot Windows 10 Pro-Ubuntu 19.10 run perfectly. I later tried Pop!OS and install it on the partition in which my Ubuntu 19.10 used to be. Now I got the problem. I can only get Pop!OS to run and the there is no more dual boot. Please help... it is urgent. Thank you,

I am planning to go dual boot, but my question is if dual booting Pop OS and Windows on the same drive would cause any errors, or any potential SSD screw up during a Windows update? Also, for content creation like 3D art, which is the best distro : Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora? -

Hi, I'm planning to build a system that dual boots Win + Ubuntu. 1. Budget & Location Probably around $1200, in U.S. 2. Aim Dual booting Win + Ubuntu -- probably 2 SSD for file safety reasons. In windows, I play different kinds of games including League of Legends, Anno, Assassin Creeds, Total War. I also do some light photo/video editing. In Linux, I do coding projects / homework. I need to do some Open CVs / Deep Learning / Android Emulators etc. 3. Monitors I'm thinking about 2 screens right now, 1440p is probably enough for the things I'm doing. 4. Peripherals I only have a gaming mouse right now, I'm thinking about a speaker, a headset w/ microphone, and a mechanic keyboard. Based on that, I thinking that I should get this: CPU: R5-3600 GPU: RX5700 RAM: 2*8G SSD: 2 500g m.2 HDD: 2tb? and I'm just not sure what else. Thank!

Hello everyone I have been struggling with a problem the whole day and can't figure it out. My specs: 2200g 2070 MSI Armor 2x8 gb corsair 3000MHz Thermaltake smart 750W MSI gaming plus mobo b450 I wanted to dual boot linux and windows so I decided to install linux on my second HDD(windows is on SSD). I installed it and then I could not boot into windows so I reinstalled windows. So far so good. Then when I got into windows my screen starts to go solid, random colors randomly. I figured its a driver problem so I removed driver with DDU and reinstalled it, no avail. So I switched to my mobo's HDMI output but I can't get it to working, formatted windows bunch of times, ran chkdsk and did secure erase on ssd and reinstalled windows, nope. One time it seemed to work fine, I plugged my hdmi to GPU and ran a benchmark, temps did seemed fine (60-70 max) and average 40 fps on 1080p extreme, so I don't think(hope) my gpu is dead. Then it started to do it again, but this time only happened when I opened/closed any program. Screen would go black for 2-5 seconds and come back. Then I checked event logs thru device manager. It showed nvidia driver would stop working but recovered succesfully, everytime the screen went black. I don't have any more ideas, should I send the gpu back? What else can I do?

Alright so I've been eager to get into macOS so I installed a VM on my Win7 laptop and now I wish to dual boot it with Mojave. I am not gonna be using win10 as its updates are uncontrollable and it doesn't run well on my laptop anyway. I am gonna be using the same disk with different partitions. I went on to download macOS Mojave from the App Store to create a bootable USB but ended up using the macOS Mojave patcher to create one. Its formatted as macOS extended journaled but oooopsiees I didn't knew about Clover at the time. Now I am wondering if I can "squeeze" in Clover into the hence created bootable Mojave USB so I could save my 3 hours that went into it. P.S Don't worry about my EFI partition cuz for some odd reason windows created it to be of 300MB lmao and I can follow with some tinkering and terminal shiz. Have a look at my partition layout and my awesome Snipping Tool skillz.

Hey guys, long-time lurker here. I'm in the process of building a new gaming rig, and due to the nature of my work (I work for a fast-paced AI firm as their Web Developer/Digital Prod Manager) I spend a lot of time sitting behind a computer screen for non-gaming reasons. I've found that in recent months my interest in PC gaming has steadily declined, which I'm attributing to the fact that every time I wake my rig I'm reminded of work (due to MS Teams always being open, the files and folders littering my desktop, etc.). I like what I do, but I need more of an escape from reality when it's time to play. So, my first thought is to partition my boot drive and dual boot Windows—one install for work, another for play. Is there a downside to partitioning a boot SSD? I'm not sure how this might affect performance. Would it be better if I simply had two separate boot drives? Also, because it's been 10 years since I had a dual boot system (mac book pro with windows installed) - can you access other SSDs or HDDs from BOTH Windows instances? All in all, I'm just wondering if this is potentially a very bad idea. Thanks! -
Hi LTT forums. I recently bought an nvme m.2 ssd so I could dual boot windows 10 and debian 9 on my alienware 15. I intend to mostly use debian but I still need to keep windows for gaming. While windows is detecting the new drive just fine, the debian installer can't detect the drive and when I try opening a shell and trying 'fdisk -l' it doesn't even detect the disk. To be clear, I want to set up a new debian partition and swap partition on the nvme drive and leave the other two drives that came with my laptop unaltered. Anyone have ideas as to why the debian installer isn't detecting the drive? -
what will the file size size be of just windows 10 and 7 together?

Hello I am trying to dual boot Windows 10 and Manjaro. I have dual booted before with a lot of distros like Ubuntu arch rhel etc how ever Manjaro just does not seem to work when ever I install it and reboot it is booting straight to windows instead of showing me the grub loader to select a OS I have followed the following tutorial as well : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mddQE-g_5mk

Last night, I managed to install OpenSuse inplace of Ubuntu desktop. The problem is though is that even though its installed I don't see the grub menu to choose between the two systems... it just boots into Windows 10. The windows 10 install is on a separate SSD, and the OpenSuse install is on an 80gb partition on a second drive. What am I missing? -
Hi, i previously had installed ubuntu as a dual boot with windows 10 on my lenovo yoga 2 pro (i7, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd). But i eventually decided to get rid of it after some file issues and just not being happy/interested in the distro. So i booted into windows deleted the linux partitions and changed the boot sequence, but i think my genius (sarcasm) ass took the stupid way out as the Ubuntu option is still in the boot menu when i went to change the boot sequence and when i go to boot from a usb. Now when i try to boot manjaro from a bootable usb it says "error: unknown file system, entering rescue disk..., grub rescue>" which i also read up on and comes up like this as an issue when uninstalling an os when dual booting it with windows 10. NOW the question is does anyone know a way to fix the grub bootloader to allow it to boot a usb/ know a way to completely remove the grub loader option so it doesn't show up on the boot menu which is what i think i need to do so that it can boot live manjaro usb again. (i also already tried doing "ls, ls (hd0)/" to find the partition with linux but since the partitions are deleted it doesn't work and i have no clue where grub is sitting, also i tried resetting the mbr in cmd and that did not work as well) Sorry for the long backstory but i figured it was needed to understand tldr: to uninstall a dual boot with ubuntu i just deleted the partitions, now ubuntu is still an option on my boot menu and when i try to run a bootable linux usb it says unknown filesystem, please help thanks -
Hello my fellow pcmr I´ve been having an issue with my windows install i have a 120 gig ssd which I use as my boot drive for my gaming pc and a few days ago I decided to dual boot with manjaro linux and the installation went smoothly but my pc would only boot to windows because my mobo´s bios doesn´t recognize partitions as bootable drives (Im not sure if any do) so i activaded the windows boot manager following this tutorial yet i only followed the first comand prompt steps before rebooting (without adding any oses to the manager) and now I´m stuck in a page saying "This device is not bootable please insert a bootable floppy and press any key" If anybody knows how to fix this please tell me and dont hesitate to ask for more information if I missed any details,Thank you in advance. -
DUAL GRAPHICS CARD non SLI SET UP Hey everyone! So I'm new here but I needed to ask an important question! So, Effectively I just can't stand apple anymore, mostly due to cost vs spec and lack of good customer care, and have decided to move over to PC's. I do a lot of music production and I exclusively use Logic Pro X and honestly prefer MAC OSX software to windows, HOWEVER, I also LOVE gaming and have wanted a gaming PC for quite a while, So after doing my research I've decided to go for an Intel i9 9900k, Z390 Meg Ace, DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 2x16gb ram, The tricky part is gonna be Graphics Card's I really want to get an MSI 2080 Ti, But I'm not sure how long it will be till that card has Hackintosh Drivers Released, But I really love it's gaming spec, I also through research found it's a lot easier to use AMD graphics Cards, So where my question lies is, would it be possible, to run a dual boot set up OSX on one SSD and Windows on the other, in a way that only uses one graphics card while in OSX and the 2080ti in windows,? or would it have to have both linked at all times? If not, can anyone offer some alternative advice? Thanks in advance for all your help, Darrell

After watching latest video about Linux adventures, I installed Pop OS, but want to do some tweaks. 1. How to hide GRUB and set Windows to default? 2. How to create icon or shortcut in Windows to boot to Pop? 3. Is there better alternative to GRUB?

Hello guys, here is my situation: I'm currently building my first PC and I am struggling with my dual boot options (I am completely new to this and have never installed an OS before=. I have 2 "500GB Samsung SSDs" on which I want to install the OS( Windows and Linux) and I want two use the 1TB HDD as storage that is viewable from both OS (SSDs). 1. Do I have all drives connected during the whole process? I was reading about disconnecting windows SSD when installing linux. 2. Can the two SSD see each other? (Is it possible to disable the SSDs from seeing each other?) 3.Do I need to do something specific with the HDD for booth OS to see it? 4.Can I just follow normal instructions for installing the OS or do I need to follow somethin specific? 5. Any pitfalls I need to know about??? Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone! I'm moving the operating system on my laptop using paragon drive copy. I was dual booting ubuntu and windows 10 and I deleted the ubuntu partitions. I had more than I could remember what where they for, I deleted swap and the ubuntu regular partition but I'm left with two 1000mb partition that appear as OEM reserved and I cant delete them in the windows tools. And When I turn on the pc I stil get some GRUB screen that just allows me to use commands, When I press escape it prompts me to the boot menu to choose the windows bootloader, how do I remove the linux partition and the GRUB(im guessing the reserved partitions have the grub thing). Also I copied perfectly with paragon my OS drive to the SSD and everything looks fine but the pc doesnt recognize the option to boot from the SSD. Even in the bios it knows it has an SSD because its listed but in the boot menu I just have the HDD option. I'm going to update the bios because it seems that its a little limited bios from lenovo but if you know something about this I appreciate any info or opinion!. -
So I got a Raspberry Pi, right? And I love using NOOBS because of how simple it is to pick between a variety of OS' on startup (ones that're already installed, of course). But I was wondering if there was a PC equivalent to this, as I boot 5 OS' on a kinda frequent basis (Win 10, Win 7, Parrot, Ubuntu, and Mint). I'd just like a GUI on startup that lets me pick between OS'. And as always, thanks for any help! -

Out of my mind I wonder if a Malware or Virus can damage or affect other OS that has been install on a different drive/partition in the system. Is there a special case like the second OS is the same OS as the main one? What if Windows with Linux? or Windows with Windows?

Hey, I was wondering if making a Windows System Image saves the contents inside my Linux partitions? I know it'll save the partition (space allocated) but I'm unsure if it saves whatever is in there. My Linux filesystem is Ext4 and Windows (10) is in NTFS. Disk Management on Windows also shows my Linux partitions as 100% free space, but I do have content inside them. Thanks in advance for the help!

I need a new pc, but I need it to dual boot between Windows 10, and Mac OS. I need to be able to run animation software (Blender Animation and Maya), video editing software (probably iMovie, I am not a professional editor), and I needs to be able to game. All of the video editing and animation will be done on Mac OS, and all gaming will be done on Windows 10. My total budget is $1600. Does anyone have any good system ideas? Ask me questions if needed.
