Can not open GRUB bootloader - SocialKiller01 - Jan 14, 2017
Hello! I installed GRUB bootloader during the installation of Kali Linux. But when I boot my pc it automatically boots into Windows 8.1. Can someone help me to make the bootloader work? Thanks!

You're meant to modify your BIOS settings at start-up by pressing one of the function keys at the top of your keyboard and moving your USB/storage device to the top of your bootlist.

I did, still no succes. I read that I have to disable UEFI, but I can not do that in my BIOS. Any other way to do it?

What did you use to add the GRUB loader to the USB? Did you use a main-stream tool like Rufus or YUMI?

I think you misunderstood me. I did not install GRUB loader to a USB. I installed it on my HDD.

Oh, then I'm sure that wouldn't work. How did you install Kali Linux then?

Graphical install on a new partition. At the end of the installation it let me install GRUB Bootloader, but it does not work. I tried to reinstall GRUB. no success.

I've never tried that, why not just use a USB and download it to the hard-drive when you're installing Kali; then install the GRUB loader.
