After the fiasco I have experienced over the last few days with Windows l may at the point where I am ready to say it's just not worth the aggravation any more to try to maintain dual boot systems. I tried to boot my Ubuntu installation day before yesterday, grub menu is gone. Windows silently overwrote the boot record. Followed the usual steps to restore grub, Windows "repaired" it on the next reboot. It did this multiple times without any interaction from me. I guess I am no longer allowed to control or configure my own system. I guess the option of switching between systems AS I DETERMINED WAS NECESSARY is no longer feasible. I currently have Ubuntu up after forcing a start from a bootable USB, but I am legitimately afraid to restart Windows at this point and just have the same thing happen again. Maybe just pull the drive at this point and quarantine it.....LOL.
