Linux Debian in dual boot

#1 Post by ghita_49 »

I have a 120 GB SSD in my computer, installed with Windows 10. I also have a 1000 GB HDD. In this I left 400 GB unformatted, I installed Debian on these.
I used Linux Mint, this gave me the opportunity to choose the place of the boot loader, obviously I chose the 120 GB SSD. I do not find this possibility when installing Debian, this makes me not have dualkboot. What could I do to use Debian dual boot? Thank you.

You need to choose Advanced Install to be able to choose a custom locate to install GRUB.
If you already have Debian installed but no GRUB, boot Debian from Boot Select menu or some other means and run

Code: Select all

grub-install
for the default location or

Code: Select all

grub-install /dev/sdX
to install to a different internal drive. Replace "X" with the actual drive letter you wish.
