I bought a Thinkpad x240 and put an Crucial MX300 SSD into it. After installing Win10 and Linux in dualboot i get a grub rescue prompt.
I have to reboot and than i get the normal grub menu.
Only everytime i boot windows 10 i get the grub rescue prompt. Rebooting Linux will do without problems.
How can i fix it?
Add a windows entry to your grub loader you dumbshit.

The grub has a windows entry. But grub will only boot into grub rescue mode after i used the windows 10 install. When i reboot after getting the grub rescue, grub will work normally
The Error looks this like:
1. I boot windows 10
2. I reboot
3. Grub rescue prompt appears
4. I turn the x240 off and on
5. Grub menue boots properly with Windows 10 and Linux as points i can choose
when i use linux it boots every time fine

why don't you edit your grub config to make sure everything points to the right drives?

Try turning off hybernating shut down from w10
suppose you installed both windows and linux on BIOS mode and no UEFI.
jesus, theres people still doing this on EFI enabled machines?

u fucked up
You didn't mention if you are using gpt or mbr or really any details. If you except answer give as much information as possible. Or just deal with it if you can't be bothered.

tried both
it's been a while that I have tried to install windows and linux in a dual boot config.
It's generally known that the Windows installer does not play fair when the drive has another OS on the drive. So I would blank the drive with Gparted and reinstall windows first then linux last.
Or just do like I do and just use a different drive for each OS. My computer I'm using here is a Lenovo T520 with a second hard drive in a caddy where the cd drive is.
That's if you want save yourself hours of frustration.
