TeraByte Unlimited

I have read the previous posts by Gary S and am having the same problem. I have Windows 10 installed on my wife's claptop with nothing else. I want to install Ubuntu along side of it. I booted into BIU and while at the BIU menu I booted my flash drive (Ventoy with a bunch of other OS's) selected Ubuntu 20.04.03 booted it and installed it according to the video. When I rebooted, it came up into Ubuntu so I updated everything, installed my BIU flash drive, and rebooted. I reactivated BIU and there was only Windows in the menu. I went into maintenance mode and the Ubuntu partitions (/root and /home) I created are there. No menu item. What did I do wrong?

RFSanders,

Can you try this...

Page 60 in the BIU manual. Paragraph 14.

Will try in the morning. Thanks.

It happened to me a few years ago. An Ubuntu install disabled Bit 55 and there was no Ubuntu entry in the Boot Menu. Enabling Bit 55 fixed it.

I booted into BIU and there is no menu item. I tried to create one, but the Ubuntu partitions are not listed in Boot Edit. When look at Partition Work it shows the 2 Ubuntu partitions with the correct sizes, but just Linux native rather than ext4. However, when I go into the laptop boot menu I can select "Boot From EFI File" and it will show /EFI /ubuntu/grubx64.efi and selecting this will boot into Ubuntu.

Bob,

What is the status of Bit 55?

Is Secure Boot enabled or not in your UEFI firmware?

Not sure how to check bit 55. Secure boot is turned off so I can boot Ventoy.

OK. In BIU Partition Work
Select the EFI System Partition
click Properties
in Flags, scroll down to Bit 55. Is your Bit 55 blank? If so, add a tick. Click OK. Close, Restart. Bit 55 should now say BIU Managed.

Will do. Give me a minute to reboot.,

It says "BIU Managed". No tic in select square, however.
