[SOLVED] How to Transfer Files from Windows to Linux on a formerly Dual-Booting configured Machine?

zavmat · 02-15-2019, 10:01 PM

here's the new grub configuration file:

Code:

[root@localhost-live /]# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64

It looks like some more boot partitions were found

post your /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg file

zavmat · 02-15-2019, 10:54 PM

there is no grub.cfg in that directory just grubia32.efi and grubx64.efi

BW-userx · 02-15-2019, 10:57 PM

that's be it

cat grubx64.efi
cat grubia32.efi

zavmat · 02-15-2019, 11:39 PM

I can't upload it because the file manager doesn't have permission to access the efi directory, I'm looking online as we speak

zavmat · 02-16-2019, 12:09 AM

what's all this?

Code:

Here they are.

colorpurple21859 · 02-16-2019, 06:49 AM

do you have a grub.cfg in /boot/grub2?

colorpurple21859 · 02-16-2019, 06:51 AM

is /dev/sda2 mounted to /boot and /dev/sda1 mounted to /boot/efi?
check with

Code:

mount -l |grep /dev/sda

if you have no output then they are not mounted.

BW-userx · 02-16-2019, 07:23 AM

ok I got admit I do not do this for the most part, file is a good program to use to see what kind of file you're dealing with, but the ones that output all of that crap, just so you know for future reference, they are binary files. nothing you can do with them in changing what they do unless you chance the source code recompile and install them, it is the script ones that are needed.

Code:

file fileNAME

Tells you what you're dealing with if you do not know.

zavmat · 02-16-2019, 09:58 AM

just a grubenv type:Link(broken) (inode/symlink)

They aren't mounted

zavmat · 02-16-2019, 01:20 PM

After reinstalling Fedora there is still no Grub menu. Here's the new lsblk

It's installed on sda9. If I redo the commands to fix grub, should I replace sda5 with sda8?

Thanks!

Look at post 97

zavmat · 02-16-2019, 05:44 PM

Alright, here is the new grub.cfg file embedded in the bootinfoscript.

Running the commands from both threads doesn't do anything anymore, when I reboot it jumps directly to live and the bios only shows removable media.

try one of these, the first is by chrooting into your original fedora.

Code:

sudo mkdir /mnt/maps
sudo mount /dev/mapper/fedora-root /mnt/maps
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/maps/boot
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/maps/boot/efi
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/maps/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/maps/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/maps/sys
chroot /mnt/maps
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
exit

Code:

sudo mkdir /mnt/maps
sudo mount /dev/mapper/fedora00-root /mnt/maps
sudo mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/maps/boot
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/maps/boot/efi
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/maps/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/maps/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/maps/sys
chroot /mnt/maps
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
exit
