<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey Guys, </p> <p>I know this question has been asked about a million times on various forums but I still haven't found the full answer to what I'm looking for yet. I need your guys' assistance to clear up a couple of things. </p> <p><strong>My goal</strong>: is to dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 10 on two separate drives. Windows on a 500 GB SSD and Arch on a 1 TB HDD. I already have Windows installed with all its usual partitions (EFI, NTFS C:, Recovery, and Reserved Partition). I am going to be installing Arch using a forked version of the ArchTitus install script (<a href="https://github.com/happy4pizza/ArchTitus">https://github.com/happy4pizza/ArchTitus</a>), with a few minor changes, for its ease of use and refinement; and since it was created by somebody far more experienced in Linux and Arch than I am. I want to use the GRUB2 bootloader for its stability and compatibility with different file systems. Some people have recommended reFIND since it searches for your OS but I want to stick with GRUB2. I also want to have two EFI System partitions one for Windows and one for Arch. Is that possible? </p> <p><strong>What I have tried so far</strong>: From what I have read online so far is that I want to mount the Windows EFI System Partition to its own /mnt directory, then use OS-Prober to find and grab Windows and add it to the grub-mkconfig file. I know that OS-Prober has to be enabled by using GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false in /etc/default/grub. The issue is, when I try to run grub-mkconfig I get an error: "failed to get canonical path of 'airootfs'. Am I mounting the drives incorrectly? I managed to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu with two separate EFI partitions and installed the bootloader on my Linux drive. I want to do the same with Arch.</p> <p>​</p> <p>So at the end of the day, <strong>my three main questions are this:</strong> </p> <ul> <li>What would be your approach to a dual-drive Windows Arch Dual Boot w/ GRUB?</li> <li>Is my current approach logically sound?</li> <li>If so, what is causing the grub-mkconfig error? Incorrect mounting, Windows security, etc.?<br/></li> </ul> <p>I know this is a lot for one post but I am desperate and trying to solve this, and any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/happy4pizza"> /u/happy4pizza </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r6bf6d/dual_booting_arch_linux_and_windows_10_using_2/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r6bf6d/dual_booting_arch_linux_and_windows_10_using_2/">[comments]</a></span> |
