View Full Version : After USB install for dual boot, Grub Boot Loader not present- always boots to Windows...

Hi guys.

The dual boot install went smoothly until I was asked questions about if/where i should install the Grub boot loader. The installer described sometimes buggy behavior, and finally suggested I install the Grub boot loader in a standard folder with a name I now forgot (folder had the word "media" in it). Now that the install is complete, when I boot I am never presented with a choice of operating systems-- Windows immediately boots as before.

It seems there is an issue with the grub boot loader.

May you please advise how to fix this so that upon startup I am presented with the choice of Kali or Windows?

Thank you! :)

Grub should have been installed to the primary drive, so that grub boots first and then lets you choose Windows if you want it.

Thank you for your reply.

I executed the entire installation again (added Kali for a dual boot with Windows 10). It seemed to install perfectly, yet I can never boot into Kali because I am never [resented with a screen allowing me to choose which OS to boot into-- Windows just boots automatically.

How do I fix this?

Thank you!
