If you want to dual boot between Ubuntu and Windows, the simplest way is to use the space taken up by the recovery partition. Noteable exceptions are the GPS and orientation sensors. In my example below, I used an 180GB SSD which you can see in the top of the list.The Sony VAIO Duo 11 (model number SVD11xxxxxx) is an Intel Ivybridge Ultrabook using low-power Core i3, i5, or i7 CPU, with four or eight gigabytes of RAM, and a 128, 256, or 512 gigabyte SSD. You should see one single application filtered out named Disks – click it.ĭisks should start and show a list of attached storage devices on the left-hand side.

Step 1) Access and browse the EFI folder of your HDD/SSDĬlick the search-button (I think it's called Dash).Įnter disks in the search field that appears. So, go ahead and boot your NB10 on the live media. copy the boot圆4.efi file from the live-media to your hdd/ssd. make a copy of your ubuntu-folder and rename it. Please note that live-media created by other tools probably will not work as described in this guide! an Ubuntu 14.04 live media which has been created using the Ubuntu live media creation-tool. your non-booting NB10 with installed Ubuntu 14.04 If you want to see the steps to fix this, continue reading. In total 2 small differences which turns out to make a big difference. Live-media has got a file (which I believe I see on most EFI-installations by the way) named BOOT圆4.EFI while the installed system does not. Look at the tree's below for an overview of the differences:

This may well be as it should, but in the case of NB10, it will prevent a successful boot. The EFI-folder structure and its contents differ between the Live-media and the installed system. Well, that's the thing – they are not similar as we'll see. So what's the difference between the Live media and the installed system? I can't say I know much about EFI and it's specifications, but there seems to be some difference between the standard and how the firmware in the NB10 works.īooting Ubuntu 14.04 from Live media (USB) works well most of the time, while after having installed it, the NB10 simply won't boot anymore. The Toshiba NB10-A and NB10T-A has some issues booting Ubuntu after having installed it onto the internal HDD/SSD.
