That may be a fucked up Linux install.

i have installed linux on a second system sharing the same drive and have serveral Vbox installs of linux of various editions. but yea… seems the 2 drives don’t want to share the same motherboard. i’m not sure how to get back to windows with this lubuntu drive in a “live” condition so i can format from windows and try to start over. what would be a good course of action now?
If it is booting i to Linux, you could try to update grub.
In terminal enter sudo update-grub
Make sure all of your OS drives are enabled. This will search for the Windows install and add it to the grub bootloader.
If it is just booting into windows, check to make sure boot order is set correctly in bios. You want your primary boot drive to be your Linux drive.

Yep, make sure primary boot device is your Linux disk. See what happens.
ok so linux is on priority boot. now gives the option for ubuntu and windows 10. fast boot in the bios has been disabled and the 3TB drive is also re-enabled. i have booted in both windows 10 and lubuntu through the “restart” option fully working. so it looks like i’m golden now. thank you guys very much! and thank good guy wendell for creating a place to get some real linux help!
