In the process of setting up an encrypted Windows partition along with a dual booting Ubuntu, I have had to install the GRUB bootloader onto a partition /dev/sda1
instead of the MBR.
In this setup /dev/sda1
is a Dell recovery partition.
It actually works fine believe it or not. I have written basic pointers.
To a point. On the system I was testing this on, I ended up with GRUB installed on two partitions, sda1
and sda2
. Is there a way to remove the GRUB blockfiles from one of these?
