sixcentgeorge Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 i ll try it and that should help me to quickly find the good parameters .if you look at the picture you see that there is only one entry for win 8 : the one from the boot disk , but no info for the second may be because they use same bootloader commandin the menu you also see two entry for ubuntu , that are fully written :for ubuntu i have two :BCD ID: {4418fe06-695a-11e2-b3d1-806e6f6e6963}Bootloader Path: EFI\Ubuntu\grubx64.efihow can i find the BCD ID of the drives or the "Device:" parameter ?

grijzeduif Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Maybe cmd -----> bcdedit /enum all ?But you have 3 efi sys partitions ????And the bcd you're booting from is on volume 15? Edited February 6, 2013 by grijzeduif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcentgeorge Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 thank you: that command lists a lot of lines , that looks not easy to mix them in one menu , like my bios do with its boot menu ;'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
