Title. I dual-boot Windows and Linux. I always saw people making “WINDOWS DELETED MY LINUX BOOTLOADER OMGOMG” posts and it had never happened to me. Now, the opposite has happened. I switched from EndeavourOS to OpenSUSE and now my windows install is no longer selectable on boot.
I keep Windows in a separate drive entirely, so instead of using grub, I use the EFI’s boot-select menu thingamafuck (look I don’t know jargon okay?) to choose Windows when I need it.
Well today it’s not there. Only the Linux entries show up. The Windows partition itself seems to be in good order, like, I can access it from within Linux no problem.
But yeah it doesn’t show up on my EFI selector thingie. I imagine I could get the EFI Shell going, but I have no idea how to use THAT either.
Glad it’s working! For the future, you might want to put ventoy on your singular USB. You can then put different ISOs on it, so you can have windows and Linux recovery on one keychain. Has saved my ass a number of times!
I will probably do that, yes.
Oh that’s cool
