Ubuntu – No grub menu after Ubuntu install, booting directly into Ubuntu

dual-bootgrub2linuxUbuntu

I have two separate SSD's. One of them has Windows 10 Pro installed, and the other has Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS.

When my computer boots I get no grub menu to choose the operating system I want to boot into, it directly boots into Ubuntu automatically. I can boot into windows with on problems when setting its SSD as the first one in the boot sequence in the BIOS.

I have a third 2TB HDD that I use only for storage. Here is the information summary after running bootinfoscript

I have installed Linux before many times, however this is my first time installing it on a separate drive. Do I need to do anything extra/different seeing that is is installed on a separate drive to Windows?

Best Answer

Perhaps update-grub2 was not run after Linux installation completed? This usually helped refresh my boot options menu.

I see clearkimura's comment about modifying /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but this file clearly says not to modify its contents as it is automatically generated based on /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/.
