It's quicker / easier to just reinstall Windows (especially since I'm not a VMWare expert and don't have the software). What I'm finding during Ubuntu installation is that I need to create a password to disable Secure Boot (in order to install proprietary drivers). The Windows Boot Manager is installed into a 272 MB partition, and there is also a 1 GB "reccovery" partition on the same SSD drive. I wonder if I can just combine these two partitions and "reserve them for BIOS boot area", meaning install Grub there. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
