Need help with dual boot Windows 10 and LL

[Colin23erk]

Hello Gold_finger


I think I have found out what the problem is with LL is thanks to your suggestion


I tried installing Linux Mint as you suggested following the Mint tutorial and lo and behold it worked OK first time


Following this success i turned my attention to LL and Booted my PC


I looked at GNU Grub and saw that it listed -
___________________________________


1- Linux Mint
2- advanced options for Mint
3- Windows Boot Manager
4- Linux Lite 2.6
5- advanced options for Lite
6- System Setup

Clicking on the  Lite option and all I got was "Error: file name expected" > press any key > returned to menu

I then tried to use my Lite USB drive to reinstall Lite  the drive was not even recognised

Knowing that  Mint had installed  from another USB drive I decided to use the same drive and method used to install Lite .

I inserted the drive and used "Rufus" to try to create a bootable Linux Lite 2.6

In the set up procedure I clicked on the Lite ISO I had downloaded instead  of the Mint ISO that had worked--when i pressed Start > all I got was a message ---

"When using UEIF target type ,only EFI bootable ISO images are Supported - Please select an EFI bootable ISO or set the Target Type to BIOS "

I understand that because Windows is UEFI I need to make LL EFI as well.

Looks like we need an EFI bootable ISO for Linux Lite.

Not sure how to create one - I hope Jerry and co can add one to the Downloads . I will see if I can change the one I have . At least I have proved that Windows 10 and Linux can be Dual Booted on this PC
