Good Morning
Ihave 2 hdd's (2TB as my primary windows 8, and 500GB with windows 8 aswell, dualboot, both hard drives are samsung). My aim was to load linux on to the 500GB and dual boot it from the screen that allows you to pick the hard drive/OS.
It used to give me 2 options, Volume 4 (primary os) and Volume 5 (500GB) with both named 'windows 8'. So I booted from the USB and installed it on the 500GB, restarted and the dual boot screen still had 2 'Windows 8' options... When I click on the correct hard drive, it goes and says that the disk needs to be recovered as it cannot be accessed / files not found. So I formatted the drive in my Primary OS and tried again.
This time, I unplugged my 2TB Primary OS, booted from USB, installed onto the 500GB, rebooted and it worked perfectly! So I plugged the 2TB back in, and the Dual Boot Screen then shows me 2 'Windows 8' options again, when I click on the correct hard drive, it says that it needs to be recovered (same error as above).
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Josh
