"I had to fix the EFI - for some reason the installer messes up the EFI partition type on the disk, and the bios doesn't recognise any boot partition. So I booted from a Linux cdrom and used 'fdisk' to change the EFI partition type to EFI (which fdisk thought it was anyway!)." I think the installer messed up the disk identifier string, which has to be something specific for EFI. 'fdisk' fixed it. If you haven't used fdisk before, be very carefull! It can easily ruin your disk partitions irrecoverably. Best of luck, Mike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Qubes 4.0 on Dell XPS 13 9360 no longer boots anything!
I decided over the long weekend to install Qubes 4.0 on my laptop after realizing that I could set up a dual-boot. I know this isn't very security conscious, but I was more concerned whether the hardware would be supported. It turns out I can't use my external monitor and usb keyboard, but that's not the real problem. I noticed after rebooting that I only had the Qubes boot menu option, Windows 10 was not available. In an effort to set things back to the way they were I removed the Qubes partitions using Ubuntu live from usb. (I don't remember at this point, but I think I may have changed my settings from UEFI to Legacy before installing and then changed it back after removing Qubes.) Now Windows won't boot and the laptop doesn't allow me to add it to the UEFI boot menu via the BIOS screen. During POST I get "No bootable devices found" even though the SSD shows up in the information screen. I have tried installing a dual-boot with Ubuntu but continue to get the startup error that there is no bootable device. Ubuntu installs, but then won't boot up. It seems to me, and I'm just getting up to speed on UEFI, that there is something similar to the master boot record missing. I've tried the solutions online that require booting from the Windows 10 installation USB and then attempting to repair my copy of Windows but none of them have worked. I'm out of ideas now and just about ready to format the drive. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you recover? Let me know if you need more detailed information and I'll provide it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
