Hi, Thanks a lot for replying. I tried that once. I mean I created the 1MB partition but did not install the bootloader to it but to /dev/sda. So, this time I will create the 1MB partition and install the bootloader to it and see how it goes. I will update you as soon as I do that. Cheers, Jayneil. <div class="gmail_quote">On Aug 16, 2012 8:37 AM, "uteck" <<a href="mailto:theuteck@gmail.com">theuteck@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> It seems like grub is not getting installed. When it says grub will be installed on /dev/sda it means the Master Boot Record (MBR) section of that disk, the first 512 bytes, not the whole disk. So it would replace the Windows boot loader and should list both operating systems. I am not that familiar with UEFI, but I would hazard a guess that since you are not installing the 1MB partition like it is asking, grub is not getting installed at all. I think the installer is being overly helpful and detects the UEFI is there and assumes it is active. I think there is an advanced option somewhere that gives you more control were grub gets installed, but if you can't find it, try again and let it make the partition.
