major booting issues for a totally blind user trying to boot debian 12.6 and windows 10 pro 64 bits on different drives with uefi booting
Hi, I have installed debian 12.6 successfully on my System76 Serval WS 11
laptop on the first nvme drive that is two terabytes. On the second drive
I have windows 10 pro 64 bits which is also two terabytes and have two
more drives that are four terabytes in size. All drives including the
windows drive and the other storage drives are mountable and I can access
their data. During the installation grub told me that it can modify the
nvram to have grub boot into debian by default but I told it no as I am
totally blind and had someone set the uefi boot order so that the windows
drive was booted first. Now when I reboot I hear the grub beep and no
windows option and os-prober is running as it told me that it could not
detect any other operating systems during installation. I did some
reading and it appears there is an esp partition that contains the efi
boot files which only exists on the first nvme drive with debian and no
windows efi files exist. I did look in the windows partition and found
lots of .efi files and tried copying bootmgr into another directory
/boot/efi/efi/windows that I created but no luck. What method can I use
to repair this system so I can use the system where debian does not even
touch windows and where I can easily choose the windows boot option or
make it the default as update-grub says nothing about this issue and no
os-prober output is given if I run it as root I just get put back to the
shell? Does debian or another service besides Aira which is paid and does
not really know much about linux exist where I can do a video call or some
type of remote access where they can remote into this linux system to try
to fix windows? Nick Gawronski
