Systemback

Is it possible to install SYSTEMBACK ISO image on WIN10 dual boot

Asked by Cyberbob

Hi Kendek,
First of alla THANKS for your job!

I just want to ask you, if it is possible to install my linux system 64bit (Linux Mint 17.3) SYSTEMBACK .ISO (make with latest systemback version) on a computer with Windows 10, to have a dual boot computer. The computer is set with Legacy Bios and NO fast boot!

Installing win10 as "fresh install" he makes one partition of 500Mbyte.

I have already installed my image system with systemback on the same computer with windows 7 and wondows 8 and all works good, but I want your confirmation about this with Windows 10.
Thanks in advance!

I am sorry, but I do not have any Windows installations (I do not use Windows, only the Ubuntu). But I think if this method has worked with Windows 8, then you can go the same way with the Windows 10.

Ok Kendek,

I've done some tests:

1) With Windows 10 installed on an MBR Hard Disk, without UEFI, all works properly.

- Mount Point in / and Grub2 bootloader in /sda
- Grub2 starts and after a "sudo update-grub " WIN10 is found (As "Windows Recovery environment (loader) su /dev/sda1" BUT works and Is it possible to change the NAME in the Grub menu with Grub-customizer.
ALL IS OK.

2) With Windows10 on an GPT disk and UEFI ACTIVE, the ISO Systemback start.

The partitions in GPT are found.
The Installer of systemback start, but Grub2 bootloader is DISABLED and SUGGEST to use MOUNT POINT= /boot/efi
I've done this. The system apper installed in the Hard disk, but NO GRUB menu start after restart of computer.
Start just WIN10 and is impossible (for me) to edit windows boot manager uefi to add linux...

ANY IDEA???!!!

Some UEFI implementations are ignore the order of the NVRAM entries. I use a HP notebook, in default starts the OS Boot Manager. The problem is that this solution does not recognize the Ubuntu, only the Windows (as operating system). Please try to start the Ubuntu with the UEFI boot menu (F9, F10, TAB, see the manual), select the Ubuntu entry.

Can you help with this problem?
