I'd mentioned that AFAIK the ESP had to have a fat filesystem (although Apple's hacked EFI to accept an hfsplus filesystem!). You're probably right about the original ESP, although the "HP_TOOLS" label is less than obvious. If you haven't wiped sda1 and sda2, you might still be able to boot into Windows; copy a colleague's or friend's "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi" to your computer to "/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi" then either use efibootmgr to create a firmware entry for it or boot to your firmware and load it from there. The Windows equivalent of grub.cfg is on sda1 and it _should_ be found and loaded by bootmgfw.efi. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
