I got new HP mobile Z book Workstation laptop with Windows 10. It has two nvme based SSD.Disk 1 - 256 GB / Disk 2 - 1TB.


First, i removed Windows 10 OS, through Bios disk format and try to install Kali Linux using boot-able USB on Disk 1 (256GB). OS version : Kali 2019.4 / Gnome 64bit
On the process, I got the No Bootloader error
3743 (https://i.stack.imgur.com/oDfD5.jpg)
and Failing step: Install Grub boot loader on hard disk. I have tried many things for 2 days could not fix the error.

Then, after some frustration,decided to install latest Ubuntu 19.10 on Disk 1 through boot-able USB drive. First i got this error Ubuntu Grub error [https://i.stack.imgur.com/Mpzk7.jpg ] Though Ubuntu detects the Kali Linux install on the Disk 1.
After that,tried to install Ubuntu 19.10 again Disk 1 with option Guided -use entire disk and setup LVM. Finally, joy. Linux installed and booted successfully.

Now, i want to install Kali on Diks 2 (entire disk with LVM setup). Hope GRUB will detect 2 OS and make it dual boot system with Nvme Disk 1 ( nvme0n1p1) - Ubuntu, Nvme Disk 2 -(nvme1n1) Kali or at least what should take note to make this happen without painful mistakes.

At current Ubuntu 19.10 disk status screen shot :

lsblk command - https://i.stack.imgur.com/WNOJM.png

Gparted Disk 1-https://i.stack.imgur.com/Aaty6.png // Disk 2 - https://i.stack.imgur.com/YUrmL.png

(https://i.stack.imgur.com/YUrmL.png)So, my question is: Can i install Kali OS on Disk 2 (which is not used yet ) as LVM setup and without disturbing current Ubuntu on Disk 1 and Grub will recognize both OS.

Any thoughts welcome,It will greatly useful :)) Cheers!
