Excellent! Thank you for the reply. I am new to Ubuntu and Linux and there is a learn curve. Based on some other articles that I have read it looks like what I should do is start from scratch and install Ubuntu first to get grub in the partition tables first. Then install Windows afterwards. I was try to avoid this and was attempting to install Ubuntu on a system that had an existing win 10 install. An advise on installation of OSs on separate HDD / devices? Would be helpful as most docs are geared toward installation of OSs on one partitioned drive. Thanks.
