My first problem I have an Asus K55A running Windows 8. I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit, but the grub does not run the windows. When I select the windows boot entry, I get the following error message error: can't find command 'drivemap'. error: invalid EFI filepath. it then defaults back to the main grub menu and I can only boot the Ubuntu option. Google has not been my friend this time. Any help appreciated. Rgds Ken While I can't answer your question, have you looked at trying Super Grub Disk (www.supergrubdisk.org), it is a downloadable image that boots from dvd\cd and can repair grub. I used to repair a grub boot problem I had a while back although that was not a dual boot problem though.
