I have been running Mac and Windows smoothly all this time, and I wanted to get my hands dirty by trying to triple boot Mac Ubuntu and Windows. I have 1 drive that is specifically for mac, 1 drive I set a partition for windows, a partition for MAC HFS, and the other partition was set for Ubuntu filesystem ( + a 8 GB swap partition).
When I installed Ubuntu, I could access Ubuntu and Windows but could not log back into Mac. I discovered that grub was installed on my mac drive's EFI. Hence, I removed the folder "ubuntu" so that what's left was BOOT and CLOVER. However, this made it even worse because now I can't access Ubuntu as well. Left with only Windows.
It will say this when I try to boot to Mac through BIOS:
System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults. Reset System
Then, I discovered that there was this file that starts with f ... x64.efi on BOOT. After some research, I was pretty sure it was installed when Ubuntu was installed because in my previous EFI backups that file does not exist. So, I deleted it. Now when I try to boot to Mac, it says
Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi - Not found
Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi : NOT FOUND
start_image() returned not found
I assume it has something to do with Grub telling that when booting look for grubx64.efi instead of cloverx64.efi or bootx64.efi.
Is there a way I could make the bootloader look for the correct efi? Perhaps alter the function start_image() ?
I would much appreciate any prompt response as I really need to use my system for work purposes as soon as possible.
Please let me know if I should attach anything to make understanding my problem much easier.
Thank you very much. Cheers!
