linux - Windows 8: Boot to non-Windows OS


I previously had an install of Windows 7 on one drive, and an install of Fedora on the other hard drive. I have a partition on the second drive for GRUB, and the normal Windows bootloader partition on the first drive. I previously had it set up with EasyBCD to be able to chainload the bootloader on the second hard drive, however now with Windows 8 installed in addition to Windows 7 and Linux, it only shows the menu options for Windows (It only shows Windows 7/8 in the boot menu).


Is it still possible to boot Linux from the Windows bootloader?



Answer



Fixed it by reinstalling EasyBCD, and then remaking the Linux entry. It seems to have replaced the Windows 8 bootloader with the old Windows 7 one, and it works.
