Windows "disappeared" after Ubuntu istalled and system setup reset
sasska
I installed Ubuntu 18.04 but along Win 10 but my PC (Asus X55VD) kept to boot directly into Windows. I used boot-repair-disk, then I was able to select Ubuntu. But once I selected Windows Boot Manager to boot, the boot order changed back to the old state, booting Windows. I set the system setup to its default values, because changing boot order didn't help (the new boot order not saved for some reason).
After performed the reset, the windows boot options disappeared from the boot options, remained only Ubuntu. Ubuntu works perfectly as far as I see.
I have an SSD as the main drive, with two partitions:
C:for the OS (Windows)E:for all kinds of stuff (Windows)
And I have a HDD in the place of the optical drive for more space, with 2 partitions:
- One of them under Windows control
- I installed Ubuntu to the other.
From Ubuntu I can see Windows' files, system files and all stuff.
If it is possibly I would like to get back my Windows.
I have a .txt containing a report from boot-repair-disk.
However, I cannot understand it, hence I am not an expert unfortunately.
I appreciate any help you could give me.

It looks like the BIOS is skipping the whole SSD while booting up, this is very common and it happened to me as well. You just have to go to the BIOS and change the boot hierarchy, put the SSD before the HDD and you should be good to go.
Anyway I'd recommend, based on my experience, using the grub boot manager. I could easily boot directly into Windows by putting the SSD right before the HDD, however is very easy for me booting from the HDD, because it will prompt me the grub menu, as it has detected another system, then select which one to use. By using two separate disks you don't have the risk of Windows messing the grub with its updates.
