Need help with Linux Lite boot issue please
#15
The best place to look while waiting for someone to answer would be the help manual under "Installation Issues":

https://www.freecinema2022.gq/manual/hardw...tallissues

If you scroll past the first section you will see this:

"Dual Boot Install on Systems with More Than One Hard Drive?
When choosing to install Linux Lite alongside Windows on a computerwith more than one hard drive, the default action of the installer is to install the Linux boot loader to the MBR of the first hard drive. Since Windows is likely installed to the first drive, its boot loader will be replaced on the MBR with the Linux boot loader. The Linux boot loader will see the Windows installation and add it to the boot menu on start-up. This is how most people do the installation.
However, some people prefer to keep the Windows boot loader intact on its own drive and install the Linux boot loader to its own drive. (There are various reasons for doing that, the most common being that it makes booting Windows easier if they decide to remove the Linux installation.) After the installation completes, they then set the computer's BIOS to boot from the Linux drive. Even though the Linux boot loader is installed to a separate drive, it will see the Windows installation and add a boot choice for it. By booting from the Linux drive, you get the choice to boot either OS. If you later remove Linux, simply reset the BIOS to boot from the Windows drive and it will boot Windows as it did before your installation of Linux.
To accomplish this, you must choose the "Something else" option from the "Installation Type" screen during installation. On the following screen you will set-up your partitions and mount points manually. Then, near the bottom of the window, you need to set the "location for boot loader installation" to the MBR of the drive containing Linux Lite. For example, if you had two hard drives - /dev/sda (Windows) and /dev/sdb (Linux) - you would set the location to /dev/sdb (without any partition number at the end)."
