In dom0 run 'sudo cfdisk' (assuming you only have one disk - if not ,use cfdisk /dev/sda, or cfdisk /dev/sdb) That command will show you the partitions on your disk and you should be able to see if you still have the Windows partitions. If you had Windows booting in UEFI mode, and you have switched to legacy boot, that would explain why you cant now boot Windows. It IS possible to mix boot modes - first establish exactly what position you are in and then we may be able to help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
