I'm trying to add windows 7 for my new 12.10 grub bootloader.
None of the things worked out; such as .. copying bootx64.efi
methods, I'm getting this output:
grub-probe --target=fs_uuid /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1. Check your device.map.
....... my device map .......
(hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD6400BPVT-55HXZT3_WD-WXD1EA1MSVR4
....... 40_custom .....
menuentry "Microsoft Windows x86_64 UEFI-GPT" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
insmod search_fs_uuid
insmod chain
search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root 80BD-E086
chainloader (${root})/efi/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
When booting to windows 7 give me blank black screen with a cursor blinks for 2 seconds then reboot, I've tried boot-repair too.
I think I'm missing Windows UEFI Bootloader files.
