Ubuntu – No GRUB after installing Ubuntu beside windows 10

dual-bootgrub2

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 from live USB beside windows 10; but there is no grub and it boots directly to windows. I already did everything suggested in other questions but no luck. I retried the install with and without /boot partition, did the mount thing, but still no sign of grub. The last things I tried were these:

sudo grub-install --target=i386-pc --force /dev/sda7
sudo grub-install --target=i386-pc --force /dev/sda4
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ --force /dev/sda
sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ --force /dev/sda

it shows a warning message as:

Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup
by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use
is discouraged.

and says Installation is finished; but when I restart, there is still no grub.
my partitions are:

sda7 –> boot

sda6 –> home

sda5 –> swap

sda4 –> /

sda2 –> C:

sda1 –> windows boot manager (efi)

Best Answer

  1. In Windows, go to the menu.
  2. Search for Command Prompt, right click on it to run it as administrator.
  3. In here, copy paste the command: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
  4. Restart and you’ll be welcomed by the familiar Grub screen.
