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?
