   need to add EFI option to Ubuntu (grub)    
   15 Oct 23 00:29:00   
   
   From: usenet@writer.com   
      
   I deleted 2 ext4 partitions and extended my ntfs (Windows) partition by   
   additional 98 GiB, which left about 45 GiB space at the end of the SSD.   
   Next, I installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 at the end of the SSD using the 22.04.3   
   installer on a thumb drive. This gave me back my boot menu, which had   
   disappeared when I deleted Ubuntu - good.   
      
   The new boot menu has no option to enter EFI setup. I really want that   
   option on the menu - I really want that. Someone suggested this problem   
   might be because I booted my Ubuntu 22.04.3 installer in 'compatibility'   
   mode, instead of EFI mode. They said if Ubuntu does not have the directory   
   sys.firmware.efi   
   then I must have booted the installer in compatibility mode. However I   
   DO have directory   
   sys.firmware.efi. Furthermore, nowhere do I find an option to choose   
   "compatibility" or "EFI" when booting the Ubuntu installer.   
      
   Can anyone tell me how to add the EFI option to the (grub) boot menu.   
      
   TIA.   Bill S
