It returns "error: failure reading sector 0x80 from 'hd1'. But this time, grub doesn't works! It has lost his cool graphic and is now a weird console-style grub, and it has only two slackware64 versions.ġ) using the "detect/load OS" function on the Grub menu I did it, grub didn't return any error, and everything worked perfectly on the installation, now the hdd has 6 partitions, two are for Windows, one is for the EFI, two for Linux and another partition, with "Extended" type (I have no idea what is it) that contains both the swap partiton and the Kali parition (I think this because its space is exactly the swap+kali linux gigabytes, and the "starting byte" is the same as the kali partiton startign byte, while the end is the same as the swap partiton end).Įverything worked perfectly during the installation.

So I decided to do a *very big mistake*: removing my old hdd, and trying a clean install with only my SSD and the new EFI partition in the SSD. Grub loaded with a cool graphic effect, Kali was right in the boot options with two other OS's (two versions of slackware64) and the pendrive, but Windows wasn't there.
I guess it's something that the installer installed somewhere on the SSD.)Īfter some time I figured out the problem, this time I installed Kali NOT using the new EFI partition in the SSD but manually selecting the old EFI partiton in the HDD. The installation finished successfully, but every time I powered on the computer it said "This is not a bootable device, insert one and press any key", and pressing any key resulted in a console with a kernel load and a Slackware64 running in my system (I've never installed Slackware in this pc.

So I created another partiton in the SSD (about 250mb big), assigned it as an EFI partiton and let the kali installer split automatically the 150gb free space in two partitons (swap and the system partition, no more splitted partitions since I'm a newibe).

In fact, I used Windows 10 in my ssd, but the efi partition was in the old hdd, not in the ssd with my new Windows 10. After shrinking the Win partition releasing 150gb of space, I installed the kali amd 64.iso linux (both the CPU and GPU are AMD) in a 16gb pendrive, ran it, and tried to install Kali (pendrive ran in UEFI mode, I've got an UEFI), however, it returned an error with grub. I've got 2 storage units, one is an old hdd with windows 10 (I use it mostly as a second storage) and the main drive, a 500gb SSD.
I could simply install a VM and run a random Linux there, but no, I like doing hard things and I thought that maybe this is the time I switch from Windows to Linux.
I need to do a basic videogame (Pacman) for a course at my computer science university (I'm at my 2nd year), and it will run on Linux's console. I've used a bit of raspbian, kali linux (arm version), debian and slackware, but I've only done the basic things.
