UEFI Windows 10 64bit & 14.04LTS 64 bootloader setup....

Both were installed in UEFI mode.

10 is still working. I installed EasyBcd witch dosen't see the ubuntu install.

I can boot 14.04 from usb and mount the linux partition.......It's running and I'm using it for this post.

 

Now... for the big qestion Do I use windows 10 for the boot loader or Grub2 for the bootloader. I think Grub2 got install to /dev/sda5 witch is the linux partition. But I can't seem to find it.

 

I tried the linux way...

grub-install /dev/sda5

 

and got the folloing message.

 

grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..

grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

I've looked at a number of youtube videos but nothing seems ti fit the mess I've created.

 

I was invited to do a skype call for leo's show yesterday because of this

but I had too many interuptions to find a good mic or headset to test.

 

This computer Dell 660 i3 6gb ram 1tb hdd.
