It took me sometime but ultimately was able to hit the following - https://superuser.com/questions/965751/how-to-access-efi-partition-on-windows-10 and did the following - PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> mountvol P: /s PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd P:/ PS P:\> ls Directory: P:\ Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d----- 10-03-2018 11:44 EFI PS P:\EFI> dir Directory: P:\EFI Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d----- 15-02-2018 19:21 Microsoft d----- 15-02-2018 19:26 Boot d----- 25-06-2019 07:08 debian As can be seen it can be in EFI partition but not within Boot, dunno if that is normal or not. within the debian directory it shows - PS P:\EFI\debian> dir Directory: P:\EFI\debian Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- -a---- 07-09-2019 15:57 1631600 grubx64.efi -a---- 07-09-2019 15:57 121 grub.cfg -a---- 07-09-2019 15:57 1322936 shimx64.efi -a---- 07-09-2019 15:57 1261192 mmx64.efi -a---- 07-09-2019 15:57 1206824 fbx64.efi -a---- 07-09-2019 15:57 108 BOOTX64.CSV > How did you change Debian boot mode to EFI ? I don't think I did that, although am not sure. Is there a way to see if that has been done or not ? What I remember doing is being asked to try to change the BIOS from legacy mode to a UEFI and see if the grub menu appeared. I tried and did that and it worked for quite sometime. > Can you see a "debian" entry in the UEFI boot menu or boot order ? Sadly no, in the UEFI boot menu or boot order I just have the MS boot manager and one without. It would take a reboot but if needed can write down the exact thing but it definitely doesn't mention anything remote to debian. If I use the other option I just get a blinking horizontal bar/cursor where I can't do nothing. > Can you boot in EFI mode with a live system or Debian installer ? > Haven't tried that as of yet :( -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com E493 D466 6D67 59F5 1FD0 930F 870E 9A5B 5869 609C
