Hello,
I'm trying to dual boot Arch with Windows 8.1 on an HP Pavilion 15-n216sf with Windows 8.1 pre-installed.
I have followed
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub
So I can't find a way to dual boot with ARCH and I'm stuck with this.
I have noted one weird thing with efibootmgr -v from arch-chroot, with fails with an invalid pointer message and lots of backtrace, and the following output :
BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 2 seconds BootOrder: 0002,0000,3000,2001,2002,2003 Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager HD(2,c8800,82000,dc61d0de-af32-472f-8c54- fdafe931e191)File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi)(invalid optional data length) Boot0001* USB Hard Drive (UEFI) - USB DISK 2.0
I am hereby requesting help to solve this issue.
Thank you.
