You're a lot more likely to have better luck eschewing grub altogether. UEFI + boot loader = unnecessary redundancy. See this.mikeserv– mikeserv2014-08-17 04:01:48 +00:00Commented Aug 17, 2014 at 4:01

I tried doing the same thing in my friend's laptop. But his bios has an option to change the type of bios .i.e. Legacy bios or UEFI.When i set it to legacy bios directly linux mint boots up and when i set it to UEFI windows gets booted up directly..But my bios doesn't have any such option.how can i boot into legacy mode?srinivas– srinivas2014-08-20 01:21:13 +00:00Commented Aug 20, 2014 at 1:21

Well - without reinstalling Windows, you can't, unless you want to change that option in firmware everytime. But you don't want the legacy boot anyway. I wrote a script the other day - almost finished it - that creates bootable Mint installer UEFI USB disk image... Hang on... How is the Mint disk formatted? Is it just flat FAT? Or...? Wait - I've got it. If it boots right up I know what to do...mikeserv– mikeserv2014-08-20 01:25:05 +00:00Commented Aug 20, 2014 at 1:25

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
