Grub: there is no choice for windows anymore...

Hello. I had opensuse 13.2 dual windows 7 a few days ago. Everything was ok, until i tried to use grub customizer. I changed the background , reboot and got an error (something about .png). After that, grub appeared with totally different colours from the default and without the option for windows. I chose opensuse and changed again the background with the previous picture (default). After the second reboot everything (colours, background) was the default, except from the option about the windows! There is no choice for windows! I can access my windows files from opensuse, but i want to boot windows too. :frowning:
I don’t know what kind of informations do you need to help me…
I have dual opensuse 13.2 gnome (i had 13.1 but i upgraded to 13.2 via terminal) and windows 7 (as i said)

With sudo fdisk -l i got this:

Sorry for the big message… any ideas??? :shame:

I’m not sure what “grub customizer” does, but it seems to have been a bad idea.

Check the file “/etc/default/grub” (probably requires root).

On my system, there’s a line

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

If that has been changed to “true”, then change it back.

Then run


# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

and see if that puts back the entry for Windows.

I did everything you said to your reply and it works!!! :):):slight_smile:
Thank you very much!!!

I’m glad to hear that.
