I need help creating a dual boot drive, i want server ubuntu linux 22.04 on one side of the drive, and windows 10 on the otherside of the drive, currently im using a uefi system. i want linux grub to be the first thing that pops up what would be the easiest way to go about doing this. I got it to work on legacy but i cant seem to get it to work on uefi.

Odd that it would work on Legacy, when that's not the primary target anymore. Is your windows MBR (requires legacy), or does that work properly with UEFI enabled.

my windows uses uefi as well

Dual boot checklist:

  • Windows
  • disable fast shutdown
  • set clock to use UTC (registry key edit)
  • UEFI/BIOS
  • secure boot off (unless you know what you are doing)
  • no legacy mode
  • Linux
  • make sure grub has osprober installed

There's not much else.

The disk needs to be gpt formatted, but that's probably already a requirement from using UEFI at all

in aeomi it says the disk is mbr but its bios is uefi

I think you have some disk work to complete first. Verify within Windows whether it sees the disk as mbr or gpt formatted, correct it to gpt if needed, THEN installing Linux should work better.

#

And before you ask how: that's a Windows problem

let me convert this disk to gpt and then i will restart my process over agian
