Windows 8 Dual boot lost after Fedora upgrade

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

 



I've finally decided to have a go at fixing the problem where the Windows 8 
option disappeared from my GRUB menu when I upgraded from F19 to F20.

Working through various Google responses I've found that i had a load of stuff 
missing, including 

* .mod files
* /boot/etc/EFI/Microsoft

I installed grub2-efi-modules-2.00-27.fc20.x86_64 and then copied ntfs.mod and 
parted_msdos.mod to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/x86_64-efi/ which got rid of some of 
the errors


I then mkdir /boot/etc/EFI/Microsoft/Boot and copied bootmgfw.efi 
from /windows/Windows/Boot/EFI/bootmgfw.efi to /boot/etc/EFI/Microsoft/Boot 

However, although I've fixed most of the error messages, I've still got the 
error:

efi: file `/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi` not found.

I'm now stuck. Has anyone got any suggestions what to do next?

parted shows (sda4 is the Win8 partition, sda5 is the recovery partition):
