Windows Manjaro and grub boot fail

[Fmert2]

hi my hard drives partitons has ~40Gb(windows) ~20Gb (manjaro) empty space and some unchangable small partitions (400mb max)(by windows) and partition that has boot loader has 1gb empty space so ı decided to give some of the space to manjaro and windows using gpart after giving space i re booted my laptop and ı cant boot into windows then ı just try to fix it by fixing windows boot configuration
bootrec/ scanos
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
then re started and grub is not booted
Noting booted grub is not even started and bios cant find operating system

Windows is unsupported.

When you remodel your partition layout you will most likely have changed the guids of the partitions.

This will - if any of the system partitions are reordered/changed - render the system non-bootable.

Systems using MBR to boot is incompatible with system using EFI so dual-booting mandates same bootloader.

do you have manjaro usb?
install manjaro, then download windows iso, flash it, run it, and repair windows boot partition with it

[Fmert2]

I have manjaro and windows usb so how do i repair windows boot partition?

[brahma]

look on internet on guides how to repair windows bool with usb, thats plenty of them…

[Mirdarthos]

Boot from the Windows install medium and select the repair option, I’m guessing.

But I haven’t worked with Windows in more than a year, so might be wrong.

Hello @Fmert2

It is not clear how your paritions table looks like. Please provide more information:

sudo parted -l

Since you are running “bootrec /fixmbr”, I assume it is a BIOS with a MSDOS partition table. Therefore, only one boot loader can be used per hard disk. To set up a dual boot, grub must be installed in BIOS mode (NOT UEFI), which then starts the Windows boot loader.

As mentioned by @linux-aarhus, you need to read this wiki article:

• GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader - Manjaro

There you need to boot a Manjaro Install Disk and then do the following:

1. Open a terminal and type this to change to the local installation:
   sudo manjaro-chroot -a
   It should search the installation and do all the steps needed to enter it.
2. Then reinstall the bootloader and overwrite the MBR, so that the BIOS loads the grub bootloader:
   grub-install --force --target=i386-pc --recheck --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda
3. And then create a boot menu:
   grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
4. Type exit to leave the chroot and reboot.

Also to mention: Keep sure that the file at /etc/default/grub has a variable like this:

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

Without a # in front of. That is needed to enable detection of other OS’s while executing grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Just open it with an editor:

nano /etc/default/grub

Change it and save it. This have to be done on the local installation while being in chroot
