I recently installed Fedora 25 in my Lenovo PC which came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed (most preferably installed in UEFI mode..Laptop is 2yrs old).
This is the sequence i used, to install Fedora.
- Made a 117 gb of unallocated space from a drive using "Disk partition" in windows 8
- Created a bootable usb of Fedora 25 using Fedora Media Writer downloaded from the website.
- Turned off the secure boot mode and changed the settings to Legacy (wherever found this option)
- During installation i selected the drive of 117gb to install the fedora and installed succesfully (in legacy mode).
Restarted the system. A menu appears with 4 options. 5.1 Fedora (4.8.6-300 and so on) 5.2 Fedora (0-rescue and so on) 5.3 Windows recovery environment (loader) (on /dev/sda3) 5.4 Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda5)
The problem starts here.. When i select first option Fedora boots up with no problem. But when i try to go for Windows (last option) it shows an error.
"Windows fail to start" fie :\Boot\BCD Status : 0xc0000225 Info : The boot configuration data is missing.
But when i use fedora i can see all my drives including the drive which has windows installed. Please help me solving this error and the main problem is I'm completely new to Fedora.
