    Seven deadly sins

     Q I just converted a laptop with Windows 7 to Linux Mint 19.2 to bring new life to it. In the process I substituted the old internal HDD with a new SSD and installed Linux as the only OS of the disk. I then inserted the old Windows 7 disk into a USB external box to occasionally run applications not available on Linux. Basically I need the official iTunes application to manage paid songs downloaded for my iPhone.

    I tried sudo update-grub , but it’s not enough – the external disk never appears in the Grub menu at startup. Note that the Windows 7 OS on the HDD is fully functional (I can boot it if I change the boot priority from BIOS). Also, if I run Mint, the USB HDD NTFS filesystem is correctly mounted.

    Do you have some hints
