Hi, I had installed Manjaro last week, but the autoinstaller maked only one partition without swap. First time, grub showed at the list of options both installed OS, but if I selected “windows” it doesn’t start. (I think because the partition table was changed to GPT).
Ok I think isn’t the first problem I had here (I need the swap, obviously), so with live-usb I’ll divide that installation in sub-partition, that you can see here:
sudo parted -l
Modello: ATA Hitachi HTS72505 (scsi)
Disco /dev/sda: 500GB
Dimensione del settore (logica/fisica): 512B/512B
Tabella delle partizioni: gpt
Flag del disco:
Numero Inizio Fine Dimensione File system Nome Flag
1 1049kB 106MB 105MB fat32 EFI system partition
2 577MB 268GB 267GB ntfs Microsoft basic data
3 268GB 268GB 548MB ntfs Windows RE
4 268GB 269GB 105MB ext4 avvio, esp
5 269GB 290GB 21,5GB ext4
6 290GB 303GB 12,9GB ext4
7 303GB 492GB 189GB ext4
8 492GB 500GB 8590MB linux-swap(v1) swap
I search the UUID for change my fstab:
sudo lsblk -fs
NAME FSTYPE FSVER LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT
sda1 vfat FAT32 SISTEMA 24C1-20D7

So my fstab is (it’s better include also boot partition and or swap too?):
cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

After doing than I’ll try to resolve the problem of windows that can’t boot…
So I’ll try the EFI solution but (i delete the first partition of windows and via terminal i try to ricreate it), i discover that this note hasn’t UEFI (or if it had i can’t know how to set)…

EFI variables are not supported on this system.
sudo modprobe efivars

mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

At moment also at the list of os showed by grub, “windows” isn’t recognized.
sudo update-grub

How I can solve it?
