</span>Hi, Vikram.<br>
<br>
My colleague recently had a problem installing Bio-Linux 8 on an EFI<br>
Windows laptop and it turned out to be that Ubuntu detected EFI and<br>
installed "grub-efi" instead of "grub-pc". However, he was booting<br>
Windows in 'legacy' MBR mode and "grub-install" failed. After a bit of<br>
poking around, I realised why it was not working and did what Tim<br>
described to install "grub-pc" in a chroot, then "grub-install" and<br>
rebooted successfully. I think Ubuntu and EFI works OK, unless you are<br>
booting Windows in 'legacy' MBR mode.<br>
