In doing some searching, it appears that os-prober is looking for the bootmgr file, and it isn't either finding it, or it is somewhere it isn't looking.I would at each of the partition and see if any have the bootmgr program on them. Wondering if it is on the efi labeled partition only?My windows 7 machines originally had two partitions, and bootmgr was on both, so I modified the process to filter out the recover partition on as to not show up on the grub list. There was also one site that talked about files being hidden, and os-prober couldn't then see them??Also, might want to run strace os-prober and see if it is checking the partitions. Had a server 2008 machine some time ago, and it had a separate partition with bootmgr on it, and nothing on the actual c partition. Haven't worked with an efi setup, so it might be the bootmgr has a different name, perhaps copying it to bootmgr.Probable going to be something simple once it is figured out.

You can find bootmgr.exe on your Windows 7 Disk.
If the system partition has been removed, I don’t think you are actually screwed.
Sorry, I think it was not clear enough. I meant Windows 7 Installation Disk. |
