My experience is similar -- about a year ago, EFI-laptop+Windows8+Ubuntu: Switching from grub does not work. However switching from the UEFI-Bios does. So now the way (what works for me): - switch to legacy-bios, boot linux - switch to 'modern' (EFI), boot windows. Yeah its a few more keystrokes than good-ol grub, but its not quite: "can't boot Windows *at all*" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
