[Post-Install] Issues With a new install on dual boot

[Princey]

I find it quite queer and odd that I'm stuck and stumbling over a new dual boot install. I've done too many installs to keep track of the number and I'm wondering if I had taken something for granted: The fact that you're always asked on which partition or drive you'd want to place the boot loader. For once, the installer doesn't ask so I assumed putting the flag boot/efi to the efi partition would suffice. Alas, nope. When the install finishes and I reboot, Windows loads. I have to manually press the boot key to get a boot menu but I'm thrown to a grub prompt afterwards. Could it be the option was removed or my iso download got corrupted somehow? The checksum says it's fine so I'm thrown a loop. Of course, there a few things that I didn't say like choosing manually partitioning as that's the ONLY option that allows for encryption. Any help would be appreciated.

You set the mount point to be /boot/efi, but did you actually set the flag?



And I see this here:




Granted, I don't have a Windows install that can be used to test with, but this has been the same options I have seen when I do.

Thanks Claydoh, but I had manually shrunk the partition before that using 3rd party tools under windows. I only had the efi partition (which I had enlarged after Windows set up). Windows recovery partition, the Windows installation and the freed space.
I'm guessing I'd have to re-extend the partition if that's the case. I'm guessing that's a safer way around it.

So, did you set the boot flag in the installer?
