Interesting.... Actually, when looking at the disk partitions when
installing Ubuntu on the second disk (better, faster), I could see the
partitions on the "Window$-esque" disk, and one partition had
something about EFI in its type. So your response makes all sense now.
Thanks :-)
Quoting Francis Shim <[email protected]>:
WTG!
The message was probably due to the previous configuration information
being stored on the hard-drive that was still connected (ie: not the
drive with Windows 10). Something to make note is that UEFI usually
stores its configuration information in a small partition known as the
EFI partition. It is usually hidden from everyday file utilities; but
you can see it with Disk/Partition utilities. The GRUB2 boot system
(the standard boot-loader used in most GNU/Linux distros) knows about
this EFI partition and will usually mount it under its boot/grub
directory tree as "efi" or something like that; hence, this way GRUB2
can work in harmony with EFI boot-up protocols and manipulate the EFI
configuration, if necessary.
Sincerely,
Frank

I solved it, after some advice from yesterday's meeting. The first
(and easiest) that I tried was to disconnect the Windows hard disk,
and retry installing Ubuntu 15.10. I was surprised by a message
about
possible other UEFI installed OSes, although there were none.
