all!
<br>
I was wondering if you might be able to help me setting up my
computer for dual booting Windows 8.1 and Xubuntu 14.10.
<br>
<br>
It's installed correctly, but when booting up my computer (an HP
pavilion g6) it doesn't give me the option to go to Grub, and
simply boots straight to Windows.
<br>
<br>
There doesn't seem to be any option to change the boot order in my
bios settings. If I turn legacy booting support off, it does give
me the option before it boots Windows to go into boot settings,
and from there I can boot to Xubuntu - but that's a rather
roundabout method.
<br>
<br>
I've turned secure boot off, and tried boot repair (results here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/9879711/">http://paste.ubuntu.com/9879711/</a> ) to no avail.
<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any ideas about how to boot to Xubuntu
easily!
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Harry

Harry have you tried to update grub from within xubuntu? Boot into
xubuntu and open up a terminal<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">sudo update-grub</font><br>
<br>
It should auto detect your windows installation and sort things out
for you. Just reboot after running it.<br>
<br>
I had to do it recently with a Win7 installation.<br>
