Problems with Gummiboot (does not find Windows)

Hello All,
Today I'm in Spain installing Arch to my parents. Unfortunately I'm not able to make Gummiboot to find Windows 8...
For sure it's my fault and I made something wrong...
Can someone help me with this please? I will leave tomorrow morning but I still have access remotely to the computer).
[angarrub@myArchEsp ~]$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465,8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 350M 0 part /run/media/angarrub/Reservado para el sistema
├─sda2 8:2 0 230,4G 0 part /run/media/angarrub/Nuevo
├─sda3 8:3 0 1G 0 part /boot
├─sda4 8:4 0 50G 0 part /
├─sda5 8:5 0 175G 0 part /home
└─sda6 8:6 0 9G 0 part [SWAP]
I'm quite sure that the problem is that I created another EFI partition (for not touching anything from Windows installation) and installed Gummiboot there. I would like to know what to do to create the entry for Windows and boot normally from /dev/sda1.
Please, do not hesitate to ask me whatever you need meto fix this.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
TheArcher

bcdedit /displayorder {ID} /addlast
bcdedit /timeout 30;
Keep in mind you'll have to set your Windows Device to Bootable not your Syslinux boot device.
Syslinux
pacman -S syslinux # or pacstrap syslinux base base-devel /w installation
nano /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg # LABEL arch >> root=/dev/sda[X] X being your linux root device
syslinux-install_update -i -a -m;
mkdir /mnt/sda[Y] # Y being your Windows HD Device
mount /dev/sda[Y] /mnt/sda[Y] # Y being your Windows HD Device
dd if=/dev/sda[X] of=/mnt/sda[Y]/linux.bin bs=512 count=1 # X being your linux BOOT device && Y being your Windows HD Device
Writeout your linux boot partition to your Windows HD, again having your Windows MBR device as bootable in cfdisk not your linux boot device.
[X] and [Y] should translate to a number.
Of course this is backwards, using windows to boot linux.
Hope that helps.
Ok, so if I understood everything ok... in that HD with both EFI partitions I should:
uninstall grub/gummiboot
install syslinux on /dev/sda1
configure two entries: one for arch /dev/sda3 and the second for Windows on /dev/sda1
And should work?
And... one question... I was trying to mount the 350mb partition (windows one, /dev/sda1) but I couldn't find the efi files... maybe I was doing something wrong because the only things that looks like a boot files are inside windows/boot folder...
I can try to connect remotely and check it later if you need more information.
Thanks a lot, really, best community ever!

Boot camp does not find Windows XP installer disc

Hi,
I am trying to install Windows XP on macbook pro. I have partitioned the hard drive and when I push "Start installation" boot camp says "The installer disc could not be found", though I see the icon on the desktop and can browse teh disc. I am logged in as an administrator and have an original Windows XP SP2 and earlier it worked fine on my laptop (I am reinstalling Windows)..
I tried several things suggested in forums (for example here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1402467) and none helped..
1) I restarted while holding Option key or C key - did not help
2) I created an image of Windows XP installer and burnt a new disk - did not help
3) I repartitioned the hard drive several times, I restarted several times - did not help
I am so frustrated with this bug in boot camp.. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

you still have not clarified if you used BCDedit or repair the MBR
Whether you used an NTFS driver - that may be all you need - try the full functional demo Paragon NTFS for OS X, it is great at mounting PC NTFS volumes and cases.

There is no such thing as "boot camp" to detect Windows. Poor language. BCA partitions. Do you want to remove XP partition? that is the tool.
Boot Camp control panel in Windows that has a Startup Disk style feature.
But "boot camp" means zilch other than installing a set of drivers and the creatiion of a partition.
Of course Lion Recvovery only works with OS X, not XP. There is a hidden feature to show all partitions and their health but nothing more.
Backup everything and rebuild and restore.

Problem with message: Could not find the main class Program will exit

I don't get why this isn't working. Any help is appreciated.
//Code start
public class hello{
public hello(){
public static void main( String args[] ){
System.out.println("Hello");
//Code end
I compile it as so:
javac hello.javaIt compiles fine and I now have hello.class in my current directory, but when I type the following:
java helloI get this:

Can't install Windows 8 on rMBP, installer does not find Windows support drivers.

First I downloaded a W8 ISO, and used it with bootcamp and created a bootable USB drive. Followed all the steps, downloaded the support drivers and partitioned my HD. My system restarts after and boots windows 8 installer. On the screen were I am supposed to select the BOOTCAMP drive, it will not let me load up the Support Drivers, so I can't continue to install the OS. They are on the Drive and I can see them...
I've been trying for hours, searching the net and now I decided to ask the community..
Thanks!

List Folder does not find WIndows shortcut files

Hello,
Why doesn't the "List Folder" vi find the Windows shorcut files? The WIndows short files have a extension of "*.lnk", I am using Labview 2011 SP1 on a WIndows XP Pro machine, the shorcut files are on a mapped network drive. I can find the shortcut files if a open a cmd window and use the dir command.
Regards,
Kaspar
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems to work for me as well. As Mike said, the shortcuts to folders showed up in the folders list.
Here are some other thoughts:
Are you using the pattern filter at all?
Are you using the Recursive File List?

Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.

When I try to install Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.
I purchased Windows 8.1 Pro, I downloaded the .exe requested file from a Windows computer, performed the steps recommended by Microsoft in order to create the ISO file saving it on a flash drive as well and, as a precaution, on a DVD too.
I performed the "Download the latest Windows Support Software from Apple" step directly into another flash drive and having it completed BootCamp displays the following message:
"The installer disc could not be found – Insert the Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized. "
So happens that I have tried this using the DVD, pendrive and also copying the ISO file to the desktop and to the "Documents" folder as recommended in certain websites, but none of this has made the process go ahead. What can I do?
My equipment is a mid 2011 iMac running Mac OSX 10.10.1.

Dear Loner T,
thanks to my coworker, the solution was unpacking from that ISO file which I had recorded (according to the steps indicated by Microsoft), but now using Nero software (Windows) and then recording by the most common way in a new DVD. See the screen of the first DVD before unpacking:
This true saga only demonstrated that the generated ISO file as an option at the time of the Windows installation, is not for direct installation through BootCamp, and as a I could check, even for direct installation on a Windows PC. See the last DVD burned using Nero and again recorded:
The execution of BootCamp, was perfect
Thank you for attention to my problem!

HT4235 iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?

Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

iCloud will not sycn a calendar from an external source. In order to use iCloud to sync it, you would have to move it to iCloud and stop using Google. I know how to do that on a Mac, but I'm not sure how to do it on a PC. If you're using Outlook, I suspect you export it as an .ics file to your desktop, then import it to the iCloud account in Outlook. I'm sure you could use Google to find the specific steps.
However, there's really no reason not to just use Google to sync your calendar across your devices. Instead, just continue to use Goole calendar on all your devices and they should stay in sync. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Jj0KFgbYI.

On right click nothing happens at all. I have reinstall the ODI multiple times with right installer. issue persist.
Please help.

Hi,
Did you use the generic installer or the win32 one ? You should use the former with Win64.
You can also check that your version of Java is supported in the certification matrix.

Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communicating with an apple airport express base station?

Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communication with an apple airport base station?

It say's this on the main Apple Website:
Support for WPA requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later. Use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) reduces the maximum number of network users. When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later.
So it has to be on WPA-Personal.
The Airport Utility should tell you what is wrong with it when it is orange.
Also, is it running on the same channel? For instance, are they both running on channel 1? Are you extending a network, or creating a network?
Hope that brain snap just puts everything together.
