No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda
I just did a boot-repair
because I can't run windows 8.1 from the grub (I see many options but none works) and I got this result:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/9558801/
My question is : Should I care about the following message :
No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda.
Is it the origin of the problem?
Solution 1:
Looks like you are using UEFI booting and GPT partitioons (the newer way). So you can ignore the message about the missing MBR.
I suggest running gparted
and checking if your /dev/sda2
partition has the boot flag. For some reason, that seems like a common problem. I've answered a similar question previously.
Solution 2:
Problem solved!
I just had to disable Secure boot
in the bios
and now I can boot both in Linux (Lubuntu) and Windows.
I still have 5 entries for Windows, some work, others don't and I don't know why... As long as it works :D.
