I just installed Fedora29 on my brand new HP laptop. The installation went fine, and Fedora comes up fine. However, I was trying to install it as a dual boot machine, and the Windows option does not come up either with a "normal" grub bootup or when I choose boot options in BIOS.
THe box has hybrid drive -- 256G SSD and 1 TB regular. I'm installing everything on the SSD right now, and then will link out stuff or repartition just a bit to move things to the 1 TB drive. But I thought I'd just stick to the SSD for installation to minimize hassles. I didn't delete or overwrite the EFI partition, and /boot/efi has what appears to be old HP, Microsoft, and Boot directories in addition to the new fedora directory. The only thing that was unusual in this installation was that I got the warning that because I was using GPT, I had to create a 1 MB bootsomethingsomething partition -- which I did. So, now my drive looks like: partition name fs mount sz flags /dev/nvme0n1p1 EFI fat32 /boot/efi 260 MB boot,esp /dev/nvme0n1p2 MS reserved unknown 16 MB msftres /dev/nvme0n1p3 basic data ntfs 60 GB msftdata /dev/nvme0n1p5 grub2.core.img 2 MB bios_grub /dev/nvme0n1p6 lvm2 pv fedora 55.89 GB lvm /dev/nvme0n1p4 basic data ntfs 980 MB hidden,diag There's about 121 unallocated GB on the SSD, and the 1 TB drive isn't mounted. Eventually, this will be a triple boot system, with the other OS being qubesOS. However, I need a vanilla Fedora boot option because qubesOS won't support some graphics I need for some apps. But, I usually install the Qubes stuff last, since it's such a joy. So, I have two questions: 1) WHat is this 1 M bootsomethingsomething I had to make? It looks like it turned into something called bios_grub. I've never had to do this before. 2) Can someone point me to resources to learn how to troubleshoot making grub see my Windows stuff? Or give me any ideas?
