>oops I must remember to not be verbose
verbose is good, so is concision, but it wasn't meant as a rude critique but
rather a sweet joke.
>grub repair
Grub repair from my experience is just garbage. On some UEFI laptops, the
recent ones, there is no legacy mode and there is no way of installing
anything really other than Windows and this is by design. I had one similar
experience with a mate's laptop. I have spent countless hours reading and
tinkering to no avail. Basically each time the installation would go just
fine and then will just freeze completely while attempting to install grub,
laptop completely frozen, dead, only cold reboot to see again a screen saying
me something like 'no boot device'. Acer, which we contacted back then, said
we should have updated the BIOS for the one version we had had indeed a 'bug'
(no bug at all if you ask me but by design and on purpose feature) that would
prevent in fact the installation of anything in there.
Long story short (talk about being verbose) I think the only thing you can do
is boot the damn thing with **refind**
