Hi,
I've been working on this for a while and would appreciate some help:
Using Ubuntu Gnome 13.04.
When I select Windows 8 from grub, I get:
Code:
can't find command 'drivemap'
invalid EFI filepath
This is from the automatically generated menuitem.
When I created my own menuitem in /etc/grub.d/40_custom I appended this in:
Code:
menuentry "Microsoft Windows 8 x86_64 UEFI-GPT" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
insmod search_fs_uuid
insmod chain
search --hint-bios=hd0,gpt5 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt5 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt5 D08832F78832DC22
chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
and got this error when selecting my custom Windows 8 menuitem:
Code:
unspecified search type
file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
I based the text I put into 40_custom off what I read in the archwiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Multiboot_2
and from my boot-repair output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5666639/
I found others who had the same laptop model as mine, they said running boot-repair from a liveCD fixed the issue, unfortunately that didn't work for me.
Ubuntu boots fine, but I can't get Win8 to boot because of the above errors. I can't figure out what is going wrong, but knowing my luck and it being late I probably just misspelled something.
Thank you for your help!
