Hi all,
The subject says what I want to do. The why is as follows. About a year
and a half ago I bought a new machine with a 2 Tb SSD and a 2 Tb hard
drive. It came with Windows on it, which I wanted to keep, so I found a
Windows program that let me shrink the Windows partitions on both the
SSD and the HD to 1 Tb, and tried to install Fedora on the free 1Tb SSD.
But at the time the installer would not recognize the SSD, so I ended up
installing on the HD, with a new EFI partition there. I was then able to
select between Windows and Fedora from the boot menu. About the time F33
came out, I learned I needed to disable Raid in the Bios, and then I
installed F33 on the free 1Tb SSD. This added Fedora to the Windows EFI
partition, and replaced Fedora in the boot menu with the new version, so
I was still able to select either Windows or Fedora 33 when I booted.
Did you also disable Windows "fastboot"?
And grub conveniently found my old HD installation and included it in
the grub menu. Then something happened about a week ago, and the Fedora
entry in the boot menu reverted to the HD entry (which is F31). I can do
a rescue boot and chroot to F33, and then run efibootmgr, but I can't
figure out how to create a legitimate, bootable entry for F33. The files
all seem to still be in the right place, and I can create an entry in
the menu, but it is not a valid entry. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
How do define "not valid"? Do you get an error, do you end up in Windows,
or ...? Did the problem occur after using Windows? Have you checked the
BIOS settings?
