Make EFI boot from MBR without reinstalling
How I can make SSD to boot by UEFI, while it MBR partitioned now?
I guess I need to create EPT partition, then reinstall grub. But please give me certain instructions, as I don't wont to break something. Partition not encrypted, and I have another Ubuntu so creating space for EPT is easy.
I will install windows on separate HDD, later. So I need dual boot. But this not belongs to question.
Ubuntu was installed with netinstall.iso, using whole disk, may be because of this iso is not created EPT, or because I installed from flash stick in BIOS mode. Anyway, I known how to make dual boot, but the question in header is unresolveable for me. Please provide instructions, thanks.
