Windows stopped booting after Linux Fedora 30 install
by Chortle Buffer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4QF62)
I had been using Fedora 25. So I backed up my data and installed Fedora over that.
My Windows 8 installation still shows up in the netbook boot menu, as does the Windows recovery. But it just reboots when I select them.
I did not change the laptop BIOS settings. So I guess this can't be a problem where one boot was UEFI and one wasn't.
I found that my recovery backup, made years ago on DVD, doesn't work now. The DVDs must be knackered. I have the data on my Linux backup. If I could find a way to turn that proprietary HP format into an image. I will look it up if needed.
Anyone have any suggestions of what to check?
