Ok. Every thing done: Win partition extended, Ubuntu installed on 45 GiB
partition. I was expecting the new boot menu to have an option to go to
EFI, like my previous boot menu did, but there's no such option now.

I really don't like that.

I would use that option several times a year to boot a linux
thumb drive and then copy a HDD image to an external drive. I rely on
that capability. Booting to Windows and selecting their EFI option is no
good! - what if Windows is broken?

Can anyone tell me how to add EFI option to this new boot menu?

TIA. Bill S.

By chance I tried the boot menu option titled:
ADVANCED OPTIONS FOR UBUNTU and from there I selected the option titled:
UBUNTU, WITH LINUX 6.2.0-34-GENERIC (RECOVERY MODE)

That opens a menu that has an option titled: UPDATE GRUB BOOTLOADER. I
clicked that and now the boot menu is corrected i.e. it has the EFI
settings option that it is supposed to have.

Ah , the Ariadne algorithm : try every path until you find the exit from
the maze.
Good for solving really hard sudoku as well...
