How to easily boot Windows from Bazzite Gamemode
NB! This process has been simplified with a ujust script. You can now run "ujust setup-boot-windows-steam" (without the quotes) and this whole process will be completed for you. Also Hand Held Daemon which ships with Bazzite has added a "Boot to Windows" option in it's menu.
In this video we are going to make a script to boot directly into Wind...
and when i launch the script through steam, It just reboots into bazzite...
I just went into my bios... and i only see two fedora instead of one windows... one fedora

Uhh
it says i can't access it
permission denied
which one?
you need sudo
oh...
ah shit...
it only says boot fedora...
likely means my windows got nuked right...
uhh its still possible your windows have different efi
open kde partition manager
how do I check
where can I find that tool?
its preinstalled
open it from the menu
oki
i got it
screenshot your boot drive layout
I followed these steps too to check if i still had my windows
Hey, this is relatively common I think. The install moved your boot files to the linux drive.
Try this:
List out your current drives with:
sudo fdisk -l
You should still see your drive connected that has windows on it, take a note of the name, I'll be something like /dev/nvme: 256GiB or something
Then to double check that you didn't accidentally wipe it, you can mount it in linux and check the files are still all there with:
Replce /dev/nvme with your actual drive name from above
If your ls command showed a bunch of stuff then the drive is still fine.
Next step will be to use the efibootmgr tool to check windows or add the boot manager back.
Let me know how the above goes firstwhat is
sudo ls /boot/efiyou want me to put ls /boot/efi into terminal?
yes with sudo
anything in here is usually terminal command
oh well your windows bootloader is nuked probably
ah fck...
the partition is probably safe, you can either try to recreate it or reinstall windows
which is easier for a dumbo like me
without nuking my whole bazzite
without nuking bazzite recreate efi is the only way
cos when I did this ^
youll want to install windows before bazzite
do u have a tutorial for me?
you can find it in google
oh haha okii imma give it a try
idk which is best, i havent used windows in a long time 😅
when i did this ^ I got those results
wait lemme recreat that
basically it says j have program files
program files x86
etc
yes your windows file is fine
the bootloader is the one that got nuked
ahhh soo what is the search prompt i gotta put into google?
how to recreate efi?
recreate windows bootloader
recreate windows efi would probably work too
oki thank u
okay nvm it's too difficult... I can't understand a thing they sayy
anyways how do I nuke the bazzite os as well... then ill just redo everything...
Dual Boot Preliminary and Post-Installation Setup Guide - Bazzite D...
Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
the docs is probably better, i think they started to recommend manual partition
you can wipe the drive either in windows installer or using live iso like gparted
should I just use the asus recovery tool?
im gonna follow this the next time I redo this...
Yeah it's should be easier with that
oki I'll just do it and follow the tutorial on the website...
