Have not! But looking at the output from bcdedit long enough, I realized when I was trying to originally fix the issue of it going straight to Windows 10 and skipping Grub, I ran a bcdedit /set command myself trying to fix the issue, but never checked what bcdedit reported in the first place before trying my set command. And looking at things, I realized I pointed it directly at grubx64.efi instead of bootx64.efi to work with secure boot, so I just ran this from an administrator command prompt: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi And it's fixed! Grub comes up when booting off of my M.2 drive installed internally! So probably when switching the M.2 from the USB enclosure which is how Windows was setup over to being installed internally, that path was no longer valid and I just need to manually set it. Hopefully this helps someone else that may run into the same issue!

And this might be helpful in figuring out my issue with Grub not loading from the M.2, this is what bcdedit currently reports from inside of Windows: Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1 path \EFI\Boot\grubx64.efi description Windows Boot Manager locale en-US inherit {globalsettings} flightsigning Yes default {current} resumeobject {8aa54c62-2e50-11e3-a87c-d9faf047cf21} displayorder {current} toolsdisplayorder {memdiag} timeout 30 Windows Boot Loader ------------------- identifier {current} device partition=C: path \Windows\system32\winload.efi description Windows 10 Pro locale en-US inherit {bootloadersettings} recoverysequence {9f8302fd-c5df-11ec-8e1b-d4d7f11c376c} displaymessageoverride Recovery recoveryenabled Yes isolatedcontext Yes flightsigning Yes allowedinmemorysettings 0x15000075 osdevice partition=C: systemroot \Windows resumeobject {8aa54c62-2e50-11e3-a87c-d9faf047cf21} nx OptIn bootmenupolicy Standard

Also, just because I was curious and had an extra flash drive on hand, I used this which someone linked to earlier in this thread: And made a Grub USB drive, set my BIOS back to USB > eMMC > SSD and the Grub comes right up, selecting either Windows or Apertis works. Leaving the Grub USB drive in and setting the BIOS to USB > SSD > eMMC, Grub comes right up as expected since it's still on the USB. Though, removing the Grub USB drive, even through Grub is loaded on the first partition of the M.2 SSD, the VCS boots straight to Windows 10, no menu. So for now, just using the Grub USB drive until I can figure out why Grub won't load straight off of the SSD when connected via the M.2 slot, when it will load from the SSD when the same drive is connected via my USB enclosure.

Huge thanks for the reply. For me, the boot order works perfectly, the VCS definitely boots from the M.2, just no boot loader that I was getting when I had the M.2 in the USB enclosure instead. And not sure if it will help you, but my process was using the Atari recovery image that's floating around, I used that to downgrade my BIOS to get a known password and confirmed that I could get in using the Atar!C3l3br8te$50Ye4r$ which I could. Then I let the VCS do all the updates and then confirmed I could still get into the BIOS. Then I used this M.2 drive (was only $50 when I ordered it last week, currently out of stock): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07864V6CK/ in this USB enclosure: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RVC6F9Y/ And using that YouTube video I linked above, used WinToUSB to image the M.2 with a Windows ISO, and then plugged the USB enclosure into the VCS with no BIOS changes and it booted off of it and setup Windows without any issues. Then I used DiskGenius from Windows on the VCS and the Grub2VCS linked in that YouTube video to copy over what was on the first partition on the M.2 drive and rebooting, the boot loader came right up and everything worked, selecting Windows, selecting Atari Apertis, with no BIOS changes. Though, then I decided to disconnect the USB enclosure, take out the M.2 drive, install it internally in the VCS and the only BIOS setting I changed was this one: And I expected to see the Grub menu once I rebooted, though, was surprised when it booted straight into Windows off of the M.2. And even more surprised when holding Escape to get into the BIOS no longer worked It showed text on screen that Escape was pressed, though, still booted Windows 10 anyways Fortunately, in Windows, was able to go to Advanced Startup options and restart which loaded Windows 10 recovery options and from there I was able to launch the UEFI preferences which got me back to the BIOS and I turned off Quick Boot and Quiet Boot and then Escape worked again. So that's where I'm currently at, Windows 10 booting off of the M.2 drive just fine, but the boot loader not coming up over M.2 that worked just fine when the same drive was connected via USB enclosure.

Not sure if this is the right topic, but seemed to be the closest. I followed the following tutorial using my own Windows ISO to get a multi loader using GRUB on a M.2 drive I had in a USB enclosure since I had read reports that installing Windows directly to the M.2 installed internally proved troublesome, and everything worked perfectly. Then I removed the M.2 from the USB enclosure, installed it internally to free up the USB port and updated my BIOS to change the boot order to boot from the M.2 first instead of the eMMC. Though, now the GRUB multi boot loader no longer displays, the VCS just boots straight into Windows. Using DiskGenius, I checked and the M.2 drive still has both WinToUSB partitions. Is there something else I need to change given that the M.2 drive is now internal and not in a USB enclosure in order to get GRUB to once again display?

Finished uploading manual scans for my Nintendo 64 collection (including the Crusin' USA poster/manual), so here's a quick shortcut for those that want to skip the homepage to check them out: http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?m=OTHER&c=NINTENDO64 Thinking I may tag some NES manuals from my NES collection (as I've done with my SNES and N64 collections) before heading back to Sega land for Pico, Game Gear and Genesis scans. At a minimum, scanning in the 3 Castlevania manuals for a Halloween themed update.

I finished up all Sega CD back inserts for jewel cases, and also scanned the digipack game cases, and the front/back of all of the original cardboard releases. I also noticed that I never scanned the newspapers that came with the Sherlock Holmes games when I originally scanned their manuals, so I scanned in both of those and uploaded them. So, that should wrap up a complete archive of US Sega CD art (covers, manuals, inserts, maps (for Vay), and supplemental books (the newspapers for the Sherlock Holmes games). That adds to the also complete archives of US Sega Saturn and US Sega Dreamcast. I've got one Sega Master System game left to eventually pick up to also cross that collection scan off my list, then waiting for deals on 3 32X manuals to also cross those scans off. As always, if anyone notices anything I missed or screwed up scanning, let me know.

Time for another status update. Finished scanning in the rest of the back inserts for the Sega Dreamcast, so now that section is entirely complete (manual scans and back inserts), just like Sega Saturn. I also tracked down all missing Sega Master System manuals except for one, and those have all been uploaded. I did also take another Sega detour, and since I already scanned in my Neo Geo collection, I scanned in my entire Super Nintendo collection and built out placeholders for my Nintendo 64 collection (neither are complete, just my personal best of set). I'm working on Sega CD back inserts currently, and then will pick back up my Nintendo 64 manual scans before heading back into Sega world and continuing to scan Sega Game Gear and Sega Genesis manuals. I'll also probably get around to scanning in my Gamecube collection, though, as with everything, no ETA's, just when I find the time.

Uploaded 10 more Sega Genesis games, though, 6 of those are inside a single manual, the 6-Pak 70 page manual. I also added some additional notes to the front page of ratigators.com to list how many I've scanned out of how many I have out of how many there are, and I've added a column to the linked spreadsheet to also include a scan column to note which ones have been scanned.

Sega Dreamcast back inserts front and back scans for E through H have all been uploaded, so I'm just about a third of the way through the full set. Also, I've gotten started scanning Genesis manuals with a block of 12 games, which contains all 3 Phantasy Star games, all 3 Shining titles, and all 6 original Sonic titles (only the Sonic Classics manual is missing at the moment). Also also, I did things a bit differently since I'm not starting with a full/nearly full set as I did with my other scan projects, in that, instead of titles showing up when scanned, I'm showing everything. Empty boxes means I don't yet have the manual and clicking will prompt a donation form as well as a full list of what I do/do not have, and a "SCAN PENDING" graphic means that I do have the manual on hand (I've got about 20% of a full set), and I just haven't scanned and uploaded it yet. I'll be going alphabetical from here on out with what I have, and will bump up any donations sent in where the sender wants them back (and as a reminder, I cover shipping, including return shipping if you want them back). http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=SEGAGENESIS

A replacement copy of Ghost House for Sega Master System arrived so I've replaced my insert scan that had the UPC cutout (my only Master System insert that had one). Also, Specialt1212's package arrived, and I've gone through everything Sega Genesis related and created this spreadsheet: http://bit.ly/ratigatorsgenesis That way, everyone can see what I've already received as donations and what's in my queue for scanning. Again, I can't thank Specialt1212 enough, and they also have the honor of being manual donor #1.

I have a family member that's been picking up every Wii U Virtual Console Super Nintendo game released, and thus far, I've owned physical copies of every single one of them, so I went ahead and got those scanned in and uploaded. I didn't check to see if these scans were already available elsewhere (I'm sure someone, somewhere, had already scanned in Super Metroid at least). As I (think I) mentioned before, I'll eventually get around to scanning in my Nintendo collections, which are primarily just the Nintendo released titles and my personal favorites (sans most RPGs, my brother was always the one that picked those up, but I own a few).

Also, on the Neo Geo front, I've since added scans for Art of Fighting 3, Kizuna Encounter, Real Bout Special and World Heroes Perfect.

Huge thanks to a new Cover Project member, Specialt1212, who has been going through my site and letting me know things that need to be fixed, such as Sega CD games where I flipped two pages instead of one, resulting in some missing pages. I lay blame squarely on my (then) newborn as the distraction Sega CD 32X Supreme Warrior: Missing Pages 30 & 31 Sega CD Dark Wizard: Page 1 (labeled start up) is messed up it looks like the image was moved during scanning Dungeon Master 2 Skullkeep: Missing Pages 30 & 31 Lethal Enforcers: Missing Pages 8 & 9 Microcosm: Missing Page 6 & 7 Third World War: Missing Pages 34 & 35 So, a year after uploading everything originally, those games are now once again complete. It was also noted that my Virtua Fighter for Sega 32X was missing quite a few pages, though, after checking my manual, every page I had was scanned. My manual seems to have two entire sheets that didn't get stapled in (resulting in 8 missing pages, pages 5, 6, 7, 8, 25, 26, 27, 28). When I get a replacement manual for that, I'll get it scanned (assuming that it has all of its pages). Specialt1212 is also sending me a batch of Sega Genesis and Sega Game Gear manuals to start up those sections. Huge thanks! Also, again, if anyone notices any issues, let me know and I'll get them fixed as soon as I can. Also also, if anyone else has a stack of Genesis or Game Gear manuals they want to send my way for me to scan in the same fashion I've done everything else, I'll cover your shipping costs (both ways if you want them back).

And we're back to the regularly scheduled program. For those that didn't happen to visit ratigators.com yesterday, all of the Sega console links redirected instead to Nintendo consoles, each with a scan of a Mario manual. Here's the links for those that missed them: http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=NINTENDOENTERTAINMENTSYSTEM http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=NINTENDOSUPERNINTENDO http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=NINTENDO64 http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=NINTENDOGAMECUBE http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=NINTENDOWII http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=NINTENDOWIIU Yea, I could have spent the time it took to scan those in to tag more Dreamcast back inserts, but sometimes I take a break to amuse myself. Those will stick around permantely, and I'll eventually get around to scanning my manuals for those systems (none of which are complete, but my personal "best of" collections). Also, while on the topic of other non-linked links, here are two more: http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=VMLABSNUON http://www.ratigators.com/ui.asp?c=SNKNEOGEO On the Neo Geo titles, I have one game in the mail (Real Bout Special), and 5 more on my WTB list (the last in each of the series I own) that I'll get around to eventually.
