I'm not surprised. You have a frankestein of a disk. GPT disk with classic partitions on a computer with UEFI set to legacy mode. IMHO, you have to repartition and reformat the disk to pure gpt and instal in native uefi mode both windows and linux.
Thank you for your comments . I would like to mention that I am still trying unsucessfully to get a normal dual boot Windows 10 UEFI / 42.2 UEFI system. Below is what I have tried / managed to do since my last email. I burnt Windows 10 to to another usb key and paid more attention to partition type of the destination partition on the usb key this time. Next, I blanked the computer's HD (again - as recommended) and reset the hard drive partition table to GPT using parted on systemrescuecd-x86-4.8.1 and then I reinstalled Windowd 10 as a proper UEFI system using the new usb key drive. IMHO I now have a proper UEFI installation of Windows 10 (see below for more info). I tested that Windows 10 booted OK - it did. Then I installed 42.2. When the machine rebooted - it booted Windows 10. I installed 42.2 again. Same problem - when the machine rebooted - it booted Windows 10. With regards to installing 42.2 version UEFI on a Windows 10 UEFI system, my findings to date are: - During the 42.2 installation, one can not use the expert partitionner mode and add a new EXT4 partition - One can however modify the proposed partition settings and set a filesystem to EXT4 - After installing 42.2 on a UEFI installation of Windows 10, the PC will reboot to Windows 10 - there is no option to boot to 42.2 Note: The machine in question is an HP Pavillion 15 I would like to add that after searching that I noticed that 42.2 was installed and that I could boot it if I hit the F8/F9 keys to raise the boot manager in the BIOS. The Boot Option Menu will present the following choices: OS boot Manager (UEFI) - Windows Boot Manager OS boot Manager (UEFI) - opensuse-secureboot Boot for EFI file If you choose "OS boot Manager (UEFI) - opensuse-secureboot" the machine will boot 42.2 and all is normal. As a second note, I would like to add that the wifi works on Windows 10 on a HP Pavillion 15 but it was not picked up by 42.2 (see below for more info) lspci sayes 08:00 Network controller: Broadcom Corportion BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) More info follows.. linux-ytik:~ # parted -l /dev/sda Model: ATA ST1000LM014-1EJ1 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 473MB 472MB ntfs Basic data partition hidden, diag 2 473MB 578MB 105MB fat32 EFI system partition boot 3 578MB 595MB 16.8MB Microsoft reserved partition msftres 4 595MB 349GB 348GB ntfs Basic data partition 5 349GB 353GB 4299MB linux-swap(v1) primary 6 353GB 1000GB 647GB ext4 primary linux-ytik:~ # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: CA3409E3-70F7-4C81-851D-8B689234742C Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 923647 921600 450M Windows recovery environment /dev/sda2 923648 1128447 204800 100M EFI System /dev/sda3 1128448 1161215 32768 16M Microsoft reserved /dev/sda4 1161216 681706745 680545530 324.5G Microsoft basic data /dev/sda5 681707520 690104319 8396800 4G Microsoft basic data /dev/sda6 690104320 1953523711 1263419392 602.5G Microsoft basic data linux-ytik:~ # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT DRAM Controller (rev 0b) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b) 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller (rev 0b) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series USB xHCI HC (rev 04) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series HECI #0 (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series HD Audio Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev e4) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev e4) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev e4) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev e4) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev e4) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series USB EHCI #1 (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series LPC Controller (rev 04) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 8 Series SMBus Controller (rev 04) 08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
