Windows not showing up in GRUB, 2 fedora installs but shows up in Linux.
Hello I'm running into a issue after installing bazzite, i picked a drive, and it doesn't seem to detect windows in GRUB, I done the just Regenerate-grub & I can see the drive with the windows install in Linux filled up. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I had the same problem as you did. What you have to do is let it boot past your bios/uefi and it will show a screen like this
The screen only displays for about 3 seconds unless an arrow key is pressed so hit an arrow key right away when you see it
Well, the thing is I see 4 installs of bazzite, but no windows boot manager. I can boot into it from bios but not in grub.
Regenerate grub doesn't add it to the list either.
When I did the ujust command, it said it found Windows Boot Manager. Maybe try it again.
Unfortunately, I'll have to leave it to the experts to answer it then.
heck!
Can you paste the output of
sudo lsblk here? Run this in terminal.Ah, I didn't see this, I'll send it when I get home from work at 12PST But I was able to fix the bootbcd, but I'm able to boot it through bios, but it just doesn't show up in GRUB. And running ujust Regenerate-grub didn't add it at all.
Also post the output of
sudo parted -l
To check whether there's any MBR-partitioned disks.It is GPT
@CheckYourFax hello im home, running this command.
my windows install is the 1.9TB one.
Why do you not have your windows boot loader on the same disk?
Yeah this partition setup is cursed.
;-;
You did something very wrong when installing dual boot windows and bazzite
It's either 1) reinstall everything or 2) try and get this mess sorted out, which is not impossible, but a lot of work. 3) leave your install as is and just boot from BIOS.
I see
Hmm I'll look into it, thank you.
You have Windows installed on a disk without its EFI partition on the same disk
You need to get the EFI partition back on the original disk
the weird thing is
You wouldn't even be able to boot Windows anymore without that disk where Bazzite is on
i can boot it from BIOS
that's because bazzite and windows are sharing an efi partition
I'm thinking of the best way to fix this
sorry for making things diffuclt
First thing you need to do is boot into Windows and shrink ~1GB of of the NTFS partition where C:/Windows is
the windows installation
So that you have space for a new EFI partition
Kk trying that now
You can use Disk Management utility for that btw (in Windows)
MB for the late response
Got the partition shrunk
Now use diskpart to create a new ESP partition
You also need to get the Windows ISO ready to repair the original bootloader
on the OG disk
Type
Win+R
Then diskpartKk
@Sauce I DM'd you
Kk
This issue was resolved. My install was cursed as shit. Reinstalling windows, and bazzite fixed this issue. Thanks to @CheckYourFax for assistance.
