Thanks danish,
I will take a look at these notes of yours today and post results when I get
a chance. It seems that openBSD overwrote the EFI part in some way. May look
for openBSD solutions also.
I have system recovery disks from HP meant to restore it to the original
configuration so as a last result I might go there and then rewipe Windows,
repartition and reinstall, after all, much practice makes perfect.
I've never seen that command except maybe noticing a strange [ somewhere
trying to set up tripwire.

boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD"
Legacy boot on HDD
The tower is of course my desktop, the laptop is trisquelFlats, :)
