I’m trying to install ParrotOS on dual boot on my windows 11 computer. I created a new partition, tried installing it, and i got an error. I tried reformating the partition to exFAT and installing Parrot after but i still got this error. It seems like grub is having a hard time getting installed. (i’ve used this ParrotOS iso to install a virtual machine once and it worked perfectly so i’m not quite sure why it won’t work on dual boot on an actual machine.)
ParrotOS iso in use: 4.11.3
Application used for flashing the iso: Balena Etcher
I don’t really know about your system either LuL. On my system I should see 2 options: boot with EFI and boot with Legacy. But maybe I’m wrong and your problem was partition problem
Oh well what i said about was when you press the select boot menu F12 or F8 or anything depends on Bios model. Sorry I forgot to mention that in previous reply.
Okay so it’s EFI boot only. So your problem could be parittion problem. From what I remember, Calamares has “install along side current OS” or something like that. Did you tried that?
Well then I’m out of idea. I never got that problem before and now I’m using 2 disk for 2 OS so I don’t have to worry about the installation problem. I mean maybe use 2 disks is a good solution for this.
to be honest i’m working on a school laptop so i don’t have much room for any other disk, but thanks for your help, i think it might be a partition problem, or i don’t have the right iso
Well to be honest i have never tried dual boot with windows 11 so it could be partition compatible wit hwindows 11. Like I said, I am using 2 disks. Did you try google the error Can not set EFI variable? Maybe it helps.
An other idea: you can buy external disk + usb cable so you can have ready to use Parrot. YOu can use it on other PC / laptop as well. Just make sure you do full encryption, which is better for your data security.
