Fedora 20 and Windows 8 dual boot problem
Hello, First of all I would like to say that I have tried the options mentioned in https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/39345/dualboot-fedora-20-windows-8-on-separate-drives/. Here are the details of my partition :
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 238.5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 551C0FD7-FE85-4C73-B2A9-D2E8A41F2D93

/dev/sda9 214216704 453666815 114.2G Microsoft basic data
The 40_custom is as follows :
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry 'My Working Windows Bootloader' {
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 'FA3C-ACAB'
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
boot
}
However, when I try to boot windows it keeps saying "cannot load image; you need to load the kernel first" Any idea will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Dhiraj
