Windows 8 - No option to boot

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi all;

I’ve installed Opensuse 12.3 on my secound partittion, but, after installation I can’t boot from Win8.
How can I configure my boot options to boot from Win8?

On fdisk -l I have this:

Hi vazhavandan, yes its checked.
I’m reading grub2 docs, is very different of Grub and Lilo, I’m lost :frowning: many years without using linux

tks.

4

Can we assume that win8 shows in the grub boot menu?

Is you machine EFI?

5

Hi caf, no I don’t using EFI (using legacy).
And the Menu only shows OpenSuse defaults options.

Tks for reply and sorry about my limited english.

Ricardo.

Which of two disks is your Windows boot disk? You have 2 (HDD and SSD). And apparently also Intel RAID on top?

7

Hi arvidjaar, You are righ, I’ve a Intel Raid, but It’s is disabled in Bios, so, I have 2 independents disks.
The Windows boot is in sda.

Tks.
Ricardo

What is output of command “os-prober” (run it as root)?

I think this is no good…

linux-qzcn:/home/muramatsu # os-prober

And now please show “grep debug: /var/log/messages”. If it is long, you can upload output to SUSE Paste

Hi arvidjaar;
It’s not too large ^^

Something very strange. Could you show output of “dmraid -sa -c” and “cat /proc/parttions”? I still do not understand where /dev/sda is.

Sure…
