In this dual boot description, we first install a Windows 11 operating system and then an instance of Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish Indri). It is installed on a 64-bit UEFI-based machine, where 64-bit systems are mounted on two partitions on a hard disk with a single GPT partitioning scheme. On this page, we will install the Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish Indri) Linux operating system on the rest of the hard disk, and then check the storage status.

If you frequently use virtual machines with VirtualBox, it is a more convenient and time-saving solution if you do not create and configure a new virtual machine for each installation, but use the existing ones. In some cases, this can cause problems, such as when you try to start your installer in EFI mode, but it does not want to start. In this short little troubleshooter, we will look at how to start ISO installers on EFI mode virtual machines.

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a specification that defines the interface between the operating system and the platform firmware. UEFI replaces the previous Basic Input Output System (BIOS) that was originally found on all IBM PC-compatible personal computers, but most UEFI implementations still in use today also support legacy BIOS features through the Compatibility Support Module (CSM).
