I can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I copied an F31 install onto an existing F31 install on a hard drive that had Windows 10 on it. I did this in early 2020. Didn't keep notes. :(
Now I have a hard drive that will boot Windows 10 fine, via the Windows 10 Boot Manager.
When I go into the BIOS manager, it shows 2 boot options: Windows 10 via the Windows 10 Boot Manager and the hard drive device itself.
If I choose Windows 10, Win 10 boots fine. :(
If I choose the hard drive device itself, the BIOS says to insert a valid boot device.
When I look at the hard drive with GParted, I see this:
Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 500 GB with:
/dev/sdb1 ntfs Recovery (Windows)
/dev/sdb2 fat32 EFI System Partition Has a boot flag
/dev/sdb3 unknown type Microsoft Reserved Partition
/dev/sdb4 ntfs Basic data partition
/dev/sdb5 ext4 <--- this is the boot partition, has the boot stuff on it. Has a boot flag.
/dev/sdb6 lvm2 pv fedora
A fedora "device" which has 3 partitions:
/dev/fedora/home ext4 the home directory
/dev/fedora/root ext4
/dev/fedora/swap linuxswap
I used a live USB version to facilitate the copy. I suspect that the live boot got installed (thus the FAT32 partition) instead of the real boot partition, which is /dev/sda5 right now.
How do I fix this ?
Thanks
