GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition - TheGoldenRelik - Oct 18, 2018
3 hours fighting with this error and I can't find a solution.
Any ideas?

you need to create a partition for grub loader. when does it show this error?
also, are you booting up as MBR or UEFI?
RE: GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition - TheGoldenRelik - Oct 18, 2018
In order to create a partition for the grub loader I have to format one of my drives but the only one I can format is the one I have ubuntu in it.
I think I am booting as MBR but how can I check it? I am using ubuntu Mate right now.
Would a print screen from gparted or something would help?

i would just reinstall your os then if you have no disk space to partition. make sure you install grub boot loader, there should be a box you need to check during the installation process to make sure it installs grub for you

The problem is that I did and then Windows stopped to show at the grub loader.
I tried rEFInd Boot Manager, boot repair but it all comes down to this error

is windows on the same partition as your linux os?

No, I have three drives. One HDD with NTFS, for storing.One SSD with NTFS for windows boot and one HDD with FAT32 for ubuntu

then thats probably why youre not seeing it pop up on grub.. just change the drive you want to boot from in bios when you want to boot into windows

Bad news. The drive with windows is not showing on the boot choices of the BIOS but I can see and access it in Ubuntu somehow

my guess would be something in your bios is misconfigured then.

I believe yes but I don't know how I can fix a bios. Maybe flash it? I don't know.
Thanks for the help anyway.
