So I have an ASUS FX-503VD which has a 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD. During the initial installation of Ubuntu 19.04, I faced a few issues and decided to reinstall it. Now I'm facing a few problems:

  1. The UEFI menu which appears on pressing F2 has 2 Ubuntu entries, one on my HDD, and the other on my SSD. Whichever I choose, Ubuntu boots in the same way

  2. I'm not able to view my Windows HDD partition (D:) through Ubuntu but I'm able to see the C:(SSD)

  3. If I switch to Windows and then shut my laptop down, the next time I turn it on GRUB appears in command line (Minimal Bash Like Grub....), but if I restart using Windows (not shut down and start), GRUB appears normally. If I use Ubuntu, whether I shut down or restart, GRUB appears normally.

Both the times I installed Ubuntu identically and I let it install automatically.

One solution that was suggested was to run boot-repair. When I ran it, the option of Windows disappeared from my GRUB menu. To solve it I had typed the command sudo os prober (and something else I can't remember). Also now my GRUB menu has some additional options and I do not know what they are.

PS: I have provided the output of lsblk below

  • We don't know about your partitions. Please edit and add to your post the output of this command: lsblk – Jeryosh Nov 26 '19 at 19:03
  • I've edited and uploaded the output. – Anuraag Shankar Nov 26 '19 at 19:34

    Please run lsblk | grep -v loop to filter out all your Snaps. Copy the result from that. Then, please click [edit] and paste the result into your question, so we get the result in plaintext instead of a linked image. – K7AAY Nov 26 '19 at 22:08
  • @MelcomX I tried it but it still doesn't show, it only shows my SSD inside the other locations section and it is name as OS, and the 200 GB I allocated for Ubuntu is shown as Computer. – Anuraag Shankar Nov 27 '19 at 08:26
  • Also I am not sure but could this be the reason for (2) : When I opened disk management in Windows, there is a 500 MB EFI file system that separates my 700GB windows partition(HDD) and the 200 that i allocated for Ubuntu. Would this prevent the windows partition from appearing in my Ubuntu? – Anuraag Shankar Nov 27 '19 at 08:28
