EDIT : I juste realized... where is the root partition of your F26 ? Are you certain that /dev/sda9 only contains your home folder ?
Hello, The more "interesting" way (if you want to learn how it works?) would be to boot from an external media, mount the newly installed F26 and `chroot` into it. From this point, you should be able to restore grub : * this page from archwiki explains how to install grub on a UEFI system : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#UEFI_systems * /!\ You may want to run `os-prober` in order to check if the windows installation is properly detected. * the "proper" EFI partition is most likely /dev/sda1 -- Timothée On 13/07/17 16:09, ven...@billoblog.com wrote: > > So, I decided to do a clean installation of F26 over my F25 > installation.
