I dual booted for about two years before switching entirely over to Linux, and I found that using reFind as a bootloader instead of Grub was significantly less hassle. I'd suggest you check it out.
I have HEARD of reFind, but could not figure out how to use it. You got a good tutorial to link me up with?
I recall following the Arch wiki entry, but the official documentation is very useful too.
The easiest way I found to install it was to 1) Install
refind
through my distro's package manager and then 2) simply run therefind-install
command in a terminal, which completely automates the process and sets reFind as the default bootloader for your machine.If you want to tweak the appearance, icons, or the available boot entries on the reFind boot screen then just follow the official documentatuon.
