    It is dual-booting Windows 10 and brunch chromeos. I set brunch. but it keeps saying "sparse file not allowed." Is there a solution?(surface pro 6)

    Hi Kii,

    I need to see a screenshot of the "sparse file" message to figure out where it is coming from.

    This message usually indicates a filesystem problem in a Linux boot partition.

    Please send me a screenshot. You can take screenshot photos with your phone.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Boot screen. You can press enter over there or leave it still. But it stops there once in a while.!

    Hi again,

    Yes, this looks like a problem in your Chrome partition filesystem. GNU Grub is having trouble reading it.
