ubuntu 12.04 windows 8 lenovo y500

[ontbij]

Greetings,
I have reached point where I can boot into Ubuntu, but not Windows 8.
I have ran the boot repair --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5734329

Currently I have BIOs set with secureBoot off, Legacy Support, priority (UEFI)

With these settings I can boot straight into Ubuntu from GRUB, but if I choose Window8 loader it does not complete.

It will load GRUB (can go into Ubuntu as normal, to reach windows must click 'Windows UEFI boot recovery')
--trying to use standard windows loader, the windows 8 boot selection lists drive path error, and UEFI error

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks

Actually the one labelled recovery is your correct boot entry for Windows. It should not be recovery.

/dev/sdb2 06A8-EB17 vfat SYSTEM_DRV
/dev/sdb3 3AA9-2AC2 vfat LRS_ESP

/dev/sdb2 2,050,048 2,582,527 532,480 EFI System partition
/dev/sdb3 2,582,528 4,630,527 2,048,000 -

You can only have one efi system partition (sdb2 and 06a8-eb17), but your system put other efi files into sdb3 also. So somehow it is mis-identified.


menuentry "Windows UEFI recovery bkpbootmgfw.efi" {
search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root 06A8-EB17
chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bkpbootmgfw.efi
}

Above entry should not say recovery. All the entires in 25_custom were created by Boot-Repair, so you can manually edit to correct them.
