My Partition Scheme
My Partitions are as followed (sda being what the hard-drive is referred to by fdisk -l)
sda [300 GB (I plan to upgrade to 1 TB soon)]:
| Partition | Use | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| sda1 | EFI partition | 500 MB | |
| sda2 | Arch Install | 30 GB | |
| sda3 | "/home" directory for Arch | 150 GB | |
| sda4 | Ubuntu Install | 30 GB | Shares sda3 as home directory |
| sda5 | Windows 10 Install | 30 GB | |
| sda6 | Extra storage for windows | 70 GB | Will Probably merge this with the windows partition at a later date. |
Configuring the Grub bootloader
Adding it to Grub
- After installing Windows 10 I booted back into Arch and used the package update-grub to automatically detect the ".efi" files for each install and configure grub to add it to the list of bootable OS's.
Setting Arch as my Default
- I downloaded the "grub-customizer" package to push Arch to the top of the list, so I didn't have to hurry and select it every time I boot up my PC.
