Yep, it's boring?

Yay!!

New problem now

Windows boots

Not fedora

?

Enters grub rescue

New problem now

What did you do?

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/91826/after-updating-fedora23-to-24-my-windowsuefi-does-not-start/

dnf install grub2-efi-modules # grub2-install /dev/sda

He gave that fix. I tried that and it directly goes to grub rescue

Good lord. ? What did I do. I don't think I should have done that

Did you read the comments in that solution?

Yeah

Too late though?

I need to learn to be a bit more patient?

Lol

I just seem to keep falling in wells.

Something that can be done.?

Well... Re run grub setup

Something that can be done.?

I have done this, but a little different, in my case I was trying to triple boot W8, Fedora and Debian. But my scenario was the next: I was using UEFI, since windows 8 require gpt instead of mbr I have a gpt on my disk, UEFI requires an ESP partition that contains de .efi files (this partition must be loaded at /boot/ via another mount point /boot/efi). The issue on installing more than 2 OS (1 windows + 1 linux) is that os-prober doesn't detect previous installed OS and you need to add it manually to /etc/grub.d/40_custom

I still running Windows8, Fedora 22 and Debian 8 on my laptop, so most modern version of fedora should easily detect your windows.

I'm not sure why your installation is failing, since it doesn't involve having more than 2 Linux based OS.

?

dual boot is pretty time consuming in support forums

this

best use qemu/kvm (virt-manager or gnome boxes) or even virtualbox

Something that can be done.?

First you need to figure out: 1. Your computer has BIOS or UEFI 2. In which mode is it booting: CSM (Legacy boot) or UEFI boot. 3. Then once you boot into fedora for install, it booted on legacy mode or uefi mode. 4. Depending on if it is uefi system, there must be an ESP partition, which during installation must be loaded at /boot/efi/ + previously you must create a /boot/ partition and then indicate where to load de ESP partiotion (without formating it) /boot/efi.

I found this youtube channel from Nehal J Wani which helped me a lot to learn the basic on how to manually add .efi to the grub in order to triple boot my laptop. This specific video describes how to load Windows right after a fedora install, when Windows is missing at grub, but first of all, make sure if you are booting on uefi mode and then be careful about creating a /boot/ partition and then loading the ESP partition with out formatting it to the /boot/efi/ mount point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzUKCApxfRw

That's the one I used to refer ?

It works for me. But maybe is a hardware issue? My laptop is some years old and yours is pretty new. On the other hand, we both have Windows 7.

"have" I don't use it

It is doable once you find the right documentation.

Aye. But that issue seems pretty well documented. I'm trying out out but for some reason internet keeps giving up on me?

That's because internet wants you to use only the best. That is Fedora. ?

I think more about security, Windows may wipe other partitions

Never try solutions straight away. There are many variables and any of them can fail. It's better reading everything first. And trying then one solution at a time to see what happens. But read everything carefully first.

I've never seen a case where windows wipes partitions, mostly it removes GRUB but never wipe partitions, Although have not seen yet what is the real cause on Windows 10 AU removing linux boot options.

Secure boot and fast boot are such beeches you dunno

I hate laptops that come with installed operating system

By the way, on adding Fedora to the debian grub in order to triple boot my laptop, I added this lines to /etc/grub.d/40_custom: #!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry "Fedora" { set root=(hd0,2) chainloader /EFI/fedora/grubx64.efi }

Before trying something make back up of boot partition tho

Then you need to generate the grub with the news confign: grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfggrub-mkconfig instead of grub2-confing because I did this on debian, then I'm able to load fedora grub from debian

And then on fedora with almost the same config I'm able to load debian's grub from fedora's grub. A grub inception XD

So In your case, you will need to load the windows something dot efi file.

on the chainloader line

How?

if you even still want to mess with Windows dual boot, have fun, but take some daily backups before booting Win32

or just be more productive with some virtualization solution

Not sure about the first results on this search it doesn't specify what deleting means, some people say wiping which is not clearly explains what is really happening.

I mean, Does it really deletes non-NTFS partitions, Does it wipes the ESP partition removing the .efi's files from linux distros impeding it to boot?, Does it overwrite files on the ESP partition without deleting other partitions from the same drive?

Sometimes peoply imply "partition deletion" simply because they cannot access to the linux systema as the used to do without figuring out what it really going on.

In these "good" scenarios still need your intervention to fix it, e.g. update references due to partition ID changes, update broken grub, fix EFI in secure boot, etc.

these updates are wasting your time also often asking others about how to fix them for every update

Ok.. I have a bigger problem now.. now that it is directly going to grub>

i type normal and it's showing me the grub from where i can boot fedora

but, i cana't seem to be able to boot windows

Can someone please help me out?

ERROR: S client not available

Don't take it bad @chaitanya_alavandi but why do you need Windows?

I dont... my friend does

it's my friend's laptop

Ah, is not your computer?

Ah, okay

I do have win on my laptop, but use it rarely for CS or AoE.. LoL..

I have it there just because is funny to have a Polish Windows in an English laptop while sitting in Germany...

Umm...the fix? ?

To your problem? Uhm... let me think...

So you turn on the computer, GRUB shows up but listing only Fedora and no Windows. Is it that or am I wrong?

no. that's not the case

So ??

i get a grub menu

as in

grub> grub>

Oh

i use normal comand, and i get the grub with fedora, and windows

fedora works

No proper grubs theb

but with windows, i get a black screen of death

Reinstall grub

But if you turn on your computer and let start without doing anything... what happens?

No proper grubs theb

then why is it that i get a grub prompt ?

Oh, gosh!

grub prompt

No menu prompt okey go fedora

grub rescue i suppose.. not sure if they are the same

Reinstall grub get menu

I don't know, I never had that

how exactly can i reinstall the gurb?

I'm sorry.. kinda a noob here ?
