UEFI: After upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, F19 grub menu does not appear

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear Folks,

I installed Fedora 19 on my son's laptop, and it worked beautifully
with the already installed Windows 8.  Then foolishly, I upgraded the
Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.  Now it boots straight to Windows 8.1 and
grub does not appear.

I disabled secure boot in the firmware.

I do not even know which version of grub was booting the UEFI system
before; it just worked.

Now I need to know.

Can anyone suggest:

1. What grub would the Fedora 19 installer have provided to boot it
   and Windows 8?  (grub2, grub-efi,...)
2. Can anyone point to any documentation on how to fix this?

I am a little nervous on this, as I once attempted to upgrade an F18
UEFI stand alone system from grub-efi to grub2 with the result that I
could not boot the machine, and wound up re-installing Fedora.

I have a live disk, can boot the machine with that, and have some
experience with grub and non-EFI systems.
