grub not detecting windows 8
- by Satyajit B M
I have a dell inspiron 5520. I had installed windows 8 and have ubuntu 12.04 installed in a different partition. I installed grub but it was not showing windows 8. So i added
menuentry "Windows 8" {
set root = "(hd0,4)"
chainloader +1
}
in /etc/grub.d/40_custom. Now i see windows 8 option but it says "error-invalid selection" when i select it. please help. This is the op of fdisk -l command
