I have installed Windows 10 in UEFI mode and then I installed Fedora 24 by shrinking the last partition. But then there is no Windows 10 entry in grub boot menu. I tried adding boot entry in 40_custom file setting root as (hd0,2) and (hd0,3) but both are not working for. I need help with this, my partition details are as below

Please help me with this, need to recover windows I tried with (hd0,1) and then (hd0,2) it is not working for me

If you are not able to add Windows to the grub boot entry, you can restore windows 10 bootloader and then add an entry of Fedora in that.

To restore Windows 10 bootloader, you will need a bootable USB/Disk of Windows installation. Boot into it and choose 'Repair your PC'. Then open command prompt and use the commands mentioned here: https://superuser.com/a/1158628/677184

This will make Windows bootloader as default, and you will be able to boot into windows.

To create an entry of Fedora in it, use a small utility "EasyBCD" and this process: https://superuser.com/a/1159368/677184

  • Thank you for your answer I tried that thing but at last I found my mistake. I installed Windows 10 in UEFI mode but then I installed fedora in legacy mode that caused the problem. I think there is no way I can recover them both, one way is to delete fedora and then trying to restore windows with what you have said. But at last I deleted all partitions and installed fresh. I found no other way suggest any solution if you have some Commented Jan 28, 2017 at 8:01
