funny how y Windows is gone as you show the Windows partition
i mean't the bootloader
i can't boot windows.
not on the bios
not on grub
not ANYWHERE
the files are still there
i just can't boot it
you should be able to as long as the files are still there true
i SHOULD
but i can't
and grub doesn't detect it either
i did mention this though
you mean it isn't in the bios boot menu either?
yep.
it's just not anywhere except on bazzite when i actually mount the partition
this os pretty fixable
are you being sarcastic or serious
i seriously can't tell
really this ain't a big issue
oh
alright
at most it's the boot manager files missing
if even that
so where do we start?
let's check if the boot manager files are gone
now where are the files?
go to
/boot/efialright
in there should be an EFI folder
yep
there is one
hmm i see
no Microsoft folder
yep.
that would be where the boot manager is
you need Windows installation media
& a single maybe couple of commands to restore the boot manager
alright, do i use fedora media writer?
for creating the installation media
should work i think just use the Windows iso
ok
when you got the drive ready boot it & we can fix this
alright
i have the drive ready
i'll boot
ok this is not good
i should've used ventoy
since it actually works for me
let's try fixing it anyways
alright
might still work
so how do i open cmd
hot shoft + f10
alright cmd shows up
let's try finding the Windows drive/partition
i assume it's c: though
doing cd C: only shows C:\ and nothing elsw
then goes back to x:\sources
ok diskpart time i guess
diskpartalready there
list disk"disk 3"
no wait
"disk 2 " is the windows one
that's just the physical disk we aren't in partition land yet
alright
select disk 2
now list partitions
oh
it''s list partition
hmm is partition 2 the Windows one
yes
i expect it to be
select partition 2
assign letter c
c not work
try some other letter
just remember whatever it is
only F worked
ok
fine
exitalright
Solution
now
bcdboot f:\windowsif this works you're done
oh
alright
good
perfect actually
let's see if it worked
worked?
it looks like it
bazzite is supposed to boot first though
oh nvm it workd
thanks
let me try booting into bazzite
bcdboot may have changed that
as in it put Windows to the top
oh nvm bazzite still works fine
of the boot order
yeah you're probably right
lemme try regenerating grub
oh yeo
it works
