Partition not showingbup in BIOS
I made 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for windows, and one for linux, but when I opened the UEFI to open windows, the partition did not show up. This only happened after installing blend os.

this happens a lot
add the boot menu entry manually from your bios settings if possible
or using
efibootmgr
though check your EFI partition first to ensure the windows bootloader is still there
if it isn't there, use a windows installer USB or Hiren's Boot CD to put the files back@ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ there is 60gbs of unallocated space, which WAS my windows partition. Why does linux do this?
@ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ it won't let me make a new partition, what do i do?
blendOS does not equal all of Linux
and I meant the microsoft boot files on your EFI
it should not wipe partitions you told the installer not to wipe
it should let you
use a liveCD
@ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ Sorry, i meant 60mbs, not gbs
So i dont think that it was originally assigned to windows if its 60mbs
probably some msftdata partition
stop pinging me
Its unallocated though
Heres a pic using another computer:
Its disk 1
@ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ sorry for pinging you, it's been 20 minutes and i really need this fixed
can you mount that 100 MB EFI partition on disk 0
I think you have some boot files missing
you need to check your EFI for a Microsoft folder
if it exists and has files in it, you need to make a boot entry for windows in your bios
if it does not exist, you need to use a windows installer USB to regenerate the windows EFI files
google can help you with this
to mount your EFI use Linux
windows won't let you do it easily
Oh no disk one is my hard drive disk 0 is my brother's
so blendOS is able to boot but not windows
Yes
Sorry you hat do wait so long that message was at 7 in the morning where i live
what's on that first partition
My brother says some boot menu
