Hi, I have had a similar problem, and it was about the disk and |
2 |
partition numering. When I configured grub, it seems to me that SATA |
3 |
disk was disk 0, but when botting it was disk 1, I saw you try some |
4 |
combination of numbers, but, you are sure about partition number ? it |
5 |
was in fack at first partition your windows system ? I will try |
6 |
something that way, I could help more if you print a fdisk -l here. |
