== Dual booting with Windows == | |||
Some manufactures EFI implementations cause GRUB not to be showed in the Boot Menu, or even if its there it can't be made default. | |||
In such cases install '''[http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/index.html rEFInd]''' | |||
[[File:Refind.png]] | |||
There are two ways to install rEFInd- | |||
1.Install rEFInd from its website [http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html] (detailed) or use pacman- | |||
sudo pacman -S refind-efi | |||
Files will be present in /usr/share/refind . | |||
2.Or just use mine [https://www.dropbox.com/s/bafo0sp432pw2tj/refind.zip here] | |||
Extract the contents of the zip file. | |||
=== Instructions === | |||
Go inside the refind folder (/usr/share/refind, or from the one obtained from my .zip file), and copy the files and folders to- | |||
/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/ | |||
'''Note-''' | |||
My ESP (EFI System Partition) is mounted at /boot/efi. | |||
You need to copy these files to the Boot folder on your EFI partition, and the Boot folder itself will be present inside the EFI folder on the EFI Partition, so take note of it. | |||
Now inside this boot folder, there will already be a file present- | |||
bootx64.efi | |||
You need to '''''rename''''' it to ''windows.bootx64.efi'' | |||
Then you should rename ''refind_x64.efi'' to ''bootx64.efi'' | |||
And you are done! | |||
The bootx64.efi files boot by default, hence rEFInd would now boot by default, and would detect your grubx64.efi(linux-manjaro) and efibootmgfw.efi (windows) automatically. | |||
''Note''- | |||
a folder Manjaro(name could be some other also) containing the file grubx64.efi should also be present in /boot/efi/EFI/ folder | |||
The rEFInd doesnt contain an icon for manjaro, so i customised one myself from an existing one on the net and upload it here as well. It should be placed in the Manjaro directory referred to earlier. | |||
