As far as I can see a number of people have tried to help you here You should read the guidelines at www.qubes-os.org/mailing-lists and be patient. Also, a two minute search on the net would bring you to guides that would enable you to learn something about grub and maybe solve the problem for yourself. On the specific points: I doubt that your Win10 boot partition got overwritten , unless you asked the installer to do so. It is possible to run Windows without a SYSTEM partition, particularly if installed in BIOS mode - it is, however, not standard. fdisk -l shows you which partition has been marked as bootable - this need not be the partition you want. It need not be the first partition. Nothing will go wrong if you get the partition specification wrong - Windows wont boot and you will see an error message. >From what you have said you have two options: msdos1 and msdos2. In grub partitions are numbered starting from 1, so these can be referenced as hd0,msdos1 and hd0,msdos2. Just create two entries, one for each partition, and try to boot: if the first fails, reboot and choose the second. Incidentally, its relatively simple to enable legacy boot on InsydeH20 - again, a simple search would show you how. Unless someone did this for you it's most likely that you are in UEFI mode. You can check this in Linux by looking at the output from dmesg, and looking for "efi" entries - 'dmesg|grep efi' Also,look in /sys/firmware for efi directory. If it's there then you booted UEFI. The partition layout you have described doesn't seem to be standard for Windows under UEFI. It isn't clear if you read the documentation before installing Qubes, or if you have a back up or cloned disk. If you didn't I would do it now before trying anything else. You can attach the NTFS partitions to a qube and copy the data off, or clone the whole partition.
