Hey all,
Following on from my thread where I was getting my dual boot working (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18488669) I actually ended up installing rEFInd and had been using that since with no issues.
However, I just had to flash my BIOS (Gigabyte Z77-D3H) to make the board accept my new graphics card, and now it seems to have lost the EFI boot options. Previously I had (on the BIOS boot menu):
rEFInd boot manager
linuxmint
Windows boot manager
...
Followed by the usual Drive listings, CD/DVD-ROM, USB etc
But now I only have the choice of Windows boot manager, or the other usual listings (so linuxmint and rEFInd have vanished).
I booted into a live copy of mint, mounted the EFI partition of my drive and had a look and all the relevant .efi files still exist in exactly the state they were in before, so I'm not sure what's going on. These are in 3 folders (Microsoft, linuxmint and rEFInd, plus the 4th Boot folder).
Anybody have any experience with this?
(Edit) Note: I realise this might be better placed in the Motherboards section, so a mod may move it if so, but I figured this is more likely to be a dual-boot issue which Linux users are more likely to have encountered (rather than motherboard owners who stick with windows)
