What should I enter below to run Windows 8 from the Grub menu? I'm a total newbie, and it doesn't work from the beginning somehow.

Ubuntu works perfectly fine, but Windows gives me some error message like incorrect something (Secure Boot forbids loading module and unknown command 'drivemap'). I know I need to change something here to make it work, but I don't know what.

menuentry "Windows 8" {
set root = "(hd0,4)"

  chainloader +1

  }

I got a purple screen with this error message:

error: Secure Boot forbids loading module from (hd3, gpt0)/boot/grub/normal.mod.
error: no such device: 861287C9128786A9.
error: unknown command ‘drivemap’.
error: no such partition.

Press any key to continue..._

Update: I disabled Secure Boot, and again I got a purple screen with the following error message:

error: unknown command ‘drivemap’.
error: invalid EFI file path.

Press any key to continue..._

  • I don't know what set root is supposed to be etc.

  • What is the output of sudo os-prober? Mar 26, 2014 at 3:06
  • I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you please explain it to me clearly what I should do and what to focus on instead of giving me names I have no idea about.

menuentry "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" --class windows8 --class os {
        insmod ntfs
        set root='(hdo,2)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 5e32cd5e32cd3bb1
        drivemap -s (hD0) ${root}
        chainloader +1
}

  • That probably won't work as the drivemap commmand is missing for UEFI installations.
