I think you have confused the too partitions EFI and /boot. > The handbook is not that clear, so I'm not sure if I should call /dev/sda7 > of "--part 7".

In all likelihood this is /dev/sda1. Unless you have some boot manager in there to point to your Linux partition at /dev/sda7 you will only boot what the EFI partition bootx64.efi code offers. Presently the bootx64.efi in the EFI partition is the MSWindows boot code. Create a back up if you intend to mess about with this, or you will need to use a MSWindows CD to recreate it with. > This seems to be the very simple, and I'd like to have it on my system.

Have you mounted it? -- Regards, Mick
