I am just MAD at my ASUS X751S laptop.
Windows updated itself to a newer version of Windows 10. That, again,
dumped the GRUB system to be able to boot to Ubuntu-MATE 16.04LTS. I
have been trying to get it working for over 14 hours.
Suggestion
Virtualize windows and solve your problem :)
First, from past experiences, It took awhile to get it to boot again
from the DVD drive. Then I use a Live CD to partition the 1.0 TB
drive. Currently it is trying my next try.
Windows did not like having 1 TB as a single drive. Then I made a
small FAT32 partition before a 250GB Windows partition. Windows
finally installed.
Next I had to work with the remaining space into 3 partitions,
creating the following - "/", "/home", and Swap. "/" was set to about
40 GB which I hope is enough. "/swap" is about 2 GB at the end of the
drive. The rest, about 740 GB is now set for "/home". This is the
first time I figured out how to make the "/" OS system and the "/home"
in different partitions.
I do not know how many times the system would only boot to Win10. I
did not lose much data as the last time. Most of the files were
copied to the 6TB "storage" desktop.
SO
I would like help trying to stop this issue now. Since I do not have
the same problem[s] with my Gateway NE56R12u, I think it might be the
ASUS laptop or the fact it has a 1 TB drive instead of 500 GB on this
Gateway - which I am typing from the Ubuntu partition.
Anyone who can help, you can use either this

well, it is past midnight and I have still an hour or two to get both
Windows 10 and Ubuntu-MATE 16.04 LTS set up enough that I can transfer
the files/data to the partitions. Right now, Windows 10 is running
and I added only the printers and Firefox browser to it. Ubuntu is
installing the basic packages I need to run, but I will wait till I
get some sleep to install the printers and the large list of packages
including a much newer version of LibreOffice.
