To be honest the hardest part was writing Windows to the USB. It seems like Linux distros are getting better every day, because apparently by mounting the drive's EFI partition to /boot/efi during installation, Manjaro's boot manager handles both the Linux and Windows operating systems.
I will edit again to confirm if it works :) In the meantime, I am satisfied with existing person's documentation of the beginning steps.ĮDIT 2: I have successfully triple booted from an external SSD, so thanks to everyone who helped me plus the random writer on Medium.
#EXTERNAL SSD DRIVE FOR MACBOOK AIR HOW TO#
Additional EFI partitions do not have to reside at the beginning of the drive.ĮDIT: I have found a good resource over here which covers how to setup up all the boot files, and installs rEFInd on the external drive rather than the internal one. A drive can have more than one EFI partition. In my search for answers, this thread in particular caught my eye as a viable solution, however a full explanation on how to resolve the problem was not given.īasically, I would like to have a full list of steps (doesn't have to be too detailed) that would allow a new-ish user like me to complete a triple boot from start to finish, elaborating on this step: Preferably, I don't want to use rEFind or similar, as I don't want to make any (major) changes to my Mac.
I plan to triple boot Mac, Windows 10, and Linux by installing them (Windows and Linux) on an external SSD and booting from there.
