Recently I installed Ubuntu 18.04 alongside with windows 10. Now i'm facing few problems. I had Ubuntu 18.04 installed before. Then i decided to install windows 10. I wanted a fresh start. So i deleted all my partitions and Then created new partition for windows and installed windows 10 in legacy mode. Then i created partition for Ubuntu and installed Ubuntu 18.04 in legacy mode. Then i got System Bootorder not found this error, and solved it from here. Now the problems are:

  • While starting i see blank screen for 30+ seconds.
  • It directly boot me into Ubuntu 18.04

Can anyone help me to solve the blank screen problem and how to boot into windows 10/showing boot options?

Boot successfully repaired.

You can now reboot your computer.

The boot files of [The OS now in use - Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them. You may want to retry after creating a /boot partition (EXT4, >200MB, start of the disk). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Separate /boot partition:] option of [Boot Repair]. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)

  • When in Ubuntu, if you run sudo os-prober from a terminal window, does it return your Windows installation? – Terrance Aug 27 '18 at 05:40
  • Its now showing anything. – Alauddin Ahmed Aug 27 '18 at 05:47
  • It sounds like the bootloader for Windows needs to be fixed. Maybe try Boot Repair and see if that helps. – Terrance Aug 27 '18 at 05:51
  • I just used boot-repair. from the log i just copy those portion. Which is seems important about dual boot. update-grub Generating grub configuration file ...

  • Can you please edit your question and add that you just put here there so that others can see it? I don't know if Windows being hibernated can be fixed from Ubuntu or not without losing data. I know that there are answers here on how to get rid of the hiberfile.sys from Windows, but again, that might cause data loss. – Terrance Aug 27 '18 at 06:11
  • Updated the questions. – Alauddin Ahmed Aug 27 '18 at 06:21
  • Good! Gave you an upvote for visual. Hopefully someone with a little more experience than me might know what to do to help. =) – Terrance Aug 27 '18 at 06:22
  • Looks like your Windows is hibernated. You say you installed in legacy mode, but then you used an answer which is valid for UEFI-mode to reinstall Grub. But that should be ok now, boot-repair reinstalled correct Grub version already. You only need to disable fast startup in Windows. – mook765 Aug 27 '18 at 06:29

  • @mook765 i can't even boot into windows 10. So how am i gonna able to do that? – Alauddin Ahmed Aug 27 '18 at 07:00
  • @AlauddinAhmed Oh, sorry, I didn't think about that you are not able to boot Windows. I don't know how to do it then. – mook765 Aug 27 '18 at 07:55
