Giffuni --- I've seen this in my system as well. It's not the BIOS (we can't simply overwrite that) but your boot partition. If ypu were careful during the partition phase it is also possible that your Windows boot partition is still there but inactive. I have had luck rescuing such systems with the Windows repair disk and even FreeBSD. Another helpful tool for dual booting is EasyBCD. I will be closing this PR, hopefully you found a solution since 2014. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
