I'm a noob at Ubuntu, but when I enter in the UEFI boot menu, Ubuntu appears twice (like this: Ubuntu (P0 : ST750LM022 HN-M750MBB).

I installed Ubuntu in UEFI mode as my only operating system, removing Win 7.I, and when I finished creating the partitions, the installer prompted me to create another partition, UEFI boot or something like this, so I had to create that one as well.

Is this bad?

Here's a screen shot of gparted: gparted screen shot

  • I'm on 8.1 and when I get to that screen the first option is something like BootLoader and then there are 2 ubuntu entries. I always just used the first. Never went in other to see if would just boot the same or fail. That is if we're taking about same screen. I have to hit f9, this screen comes up. I select second option that is ubuntu, then I finally get to grub where I can again select ubuntu. If I don't do this, grub never loads and Windows boots. Pretty sure were taking about same thing. It like bootloader, 2 listing of Ubuntu and then some UEFI option – geoffmcc Jan 06 '15 at 20:46
  • Can you post a screen shot of the `gparted` window and drop me a note @Fabby? – Fabby Jan 07 '15 at 17:14
  • @Fabby i can't post images because i need a higher reputation.I don't know if it helps you,but i have 4 partitions.One is a linux swap partition(46 gb),a / logical partiton(100 gb),another logical partiton /home (600gb) and a boot/efi partition in fat32 format(148mb). – Mr.John Jan 07 '15 at 17:41

  • You can remove obsolete entries with `efibootmgr` ([How do I remove “Ubuntu” in the bios boot menu? (UEFI)](http://askubuntu.com/q/63610/40581)). But better leave it as it is unless you want to fiddle with UEFI and possibly discover firmware bugs that leave you puzzled and waste time. – LiveWireBT Jan 08 '15 at 06:51

No it's not bad...

It's not beautiful neither, but it's not bad. Knowing that UEFI gives lots of people trouble, ignore it! Don't try to fix a working system!
