Edit the BCD Boot Menu to set the default to Windoze or Linux as desired.

Click BCD Backup/Repair > Recreate/repair boot files (which writes a Windows MBR and makes the Windows boot menu primary). Using the Linux boot menu, boot into Windows7.
#EDIT EASY TO BOOT MENU INSTALL#
I've used this procedure with several versions of Ubuntu and Linux: Install Linux so sdb. diagnostics mode, memtest, or returning to Windows7).
I have NOT set the timout to 0, so that I can use the other Linux menu items (i.e. If Linux is selected, it brings up the Linux boot menu. I have successfully used EASYBCD to boot using a Windows MBR. HDD1 contains the following partitions: sdb1=Mint 18.3 root (ext4), sdb2=Extended Partition, sdb5=Linux Swap, sdb6=Mint 18.3 home (ext4) HDD0 contains the following partitions: C=Windows7 (NTFS) D, E, F and G=Data partitions (FAT)
I believe the problem is that EasyBCD and/or Grub4DOS (which it uses) can't handle more than one Linux system on a volume, probably because a data field is too small. on launching 19 from EasyBCD I again hit the Grub prompt but after rebooting again and launching via the BIOS Boot Menu Mint 19 again loaded perfectly, so I am wondering if this is indicating an issue with EasyBCD what do you think, I have passed a copy of my findings to the Neosmart(EasyBCD) Forums I rebooted my system again but this time whilst BIOS was loading I chose the option to launch the BIOS boot menu, from there I selected the drive where I had installed Mint 19 and it immediately booted up the Grub loading screen for Mint 19 I hit that and lo and behold Mint 19 launched perfectly, I played about with it for a while applied all the updates that appeared (there were quite a few) and again rebooted. Ok, I had a thought, I re-installed Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon in place of Linux Mint 18.3 and went through the load live image and install and Mint 19 installed as it did before, however, I decided to watch the install procedure and everything seemed to install correctly I had prepared an internal drive just for Mint 19 as I did for Mint 18.3, Grub was installed to my Linux drive as it did for Mint 18.3 (in my case sdd) and it installed Grub to sdd again as it did for Mint 18.3 and I updated my menu entry in EasyBCD 2.3 and rebooted I selected the Mint19 menu entry, and sure enough it immediately went to a Grub prompt, so there is definitely some kind of an issue, but where. I have tried a few things as mentioned further down this thread and it seems that it could be an EasyBCD issue although still not sure, I have passed my findings on to the Neosmart forums. Just to be sure I re-installed mint 18.3 in the same way and everything works as it should, I wonder if there is something special about ubuntu 18.04 and its derivatives that could be causing problemsĮdit. any ideas or suggestions about this would be greatly appreciated. boot into mint's live environment and install from there, I usually install Grub to the Linux partition and use EasyBCD to generate the Windows Bootloader entry using AutoNeoGrub.mbr and this has always worked for me until now since installing mint 19 everythng behaves as normal up until grub is loaded, instead of getting the grub bootloader menu I just end up at a Grub prompt, very strange.
#EDIT EASY TO BOOT MENU WINDOWS 10#
Windows 10 is already installed and has been for some years currently version 1803 OS Build 17134.137 and this has been dual booting fine with versions of linux mint up to and including version 18.3 cinnamon edition based on ubuntu 16.04, linux mint 19 has now come out based on ubuntu 18.04 and I followed my usual procedure, I installed mint 19 in its own partition on a separate drive which seemed to work ok as it usually does i.e.
#EDIT EASY TO BOOT MENU UPDATE#
For some time I have been using a Dual Boot Configuration on my main system Win10/Linux Mint and this has worked fine for me in various configurations, up until I decide to update my Linux Mint to Version 19 "Tara" which was recently released.
