Installed next to Windows.

While installing, it said it didn't detect another system. If there was one, select No. Then it asked me to select the drive with the system. Did that, installed.

I rebooted, still booted into Windows. No dualboot screen. Luckily I coul still boot into Windows.

I then checked my bios. In boot order, saw a Windows one + one with the drive name. Selected the one with the drive to check.

Now nothing will start and I can't even get into the bios anymore. Help?

@alcea No, it's a PC (AMD).

Luckily fixed though!

Update: After about 20 tries, I could get into the BIOS again.

Switched it back. No dualboot working, but at least things are back in a working state.

I'll recover from my moment of panic and try again some other time.

@thomastospace For system installation it's recommended to leave only system disk connected or enabled in bios (not always possible for nvme drives).

Problems with entering BIOS are caused by OS shutdown directive. On Windows hold shift key while shutting down to remove it.

Ps. I'm in the process of migrating old system to new rig myself and oh man, the ridiculous problems I had to solve made me write my future blogpost draft, because there's no way to remember them all.

@shudder Thanks! Will disconnect my extra drive next time I try. Hopefully that works!

@thomastospace I know from past experience that adding other OSes into windows boot menu is a pain so I install Linux with it being the only drive in the system and then let grub detect windows by running initramfs or whatever the command is so I can let grub be in charge all the time
