Parition, luks and windows boot manager

i hope you will understand my English.

I have bought a dell xps 15 9550, I've installed ubuntu-20.04.3 64 bit with luks and lvm and then installed windows(I've shrinked the lvm and then made an ntfs partition for win).Then I've installed grub on the root partition and added the entry with easybcd. All was ok but after some problems I decided to reinstall. Windows is encrypted with veracrypt so this is the reason why i need the windows boot manager instead of grub. So now...

I made two partition, /boot and /, configured the ext4 (/) partition as "physical volume for encryption", (I'm running on legacy bios and mbr table). All is correctly installed, but I can't add the entries with easybcd. I tried with supergrubdisk and it read and start my ubuntu partition. So is installed and it run but only with supergrubdisk , with easybcd it doesn't boot it remain with a black screen with an underscore on the top left and stop. What I tried (inside the system always starting with supergrubdisk not chroot): -Install grub on /boot partition --it install but it doesn't boot as entry on windows boot manager -Install grub on root partition --error saying it can't determine filesystem type So any help? Thanks in advance and sorry again for my English

You say /boot & /root. I suspect you mean /boot & / root directory; as / is the root directory; but /root is the directory of the root user (it's not located in /home). You should also provide release details.

[Solved] I put here the solution in case someone will need that.

Using this guide ¨https://techblog.mastbroek.com/all-articles/dualboot-encrypted-windows-and-ubuntu/5/¨.

I stetted up all like previously but this time i made a larger boot partition (1024mb). Then when veracrypt boot-loader appear, simply press esc key and it will detect grub on the /boot partition and it will start ubuntu.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
