I want to dual boot Debian and Windows 8, installed on separate disks. This is what I've done so far, following this tutorial.
My drive config & partitioning is as follows:
/dev/sda1 - Windows System Reserved
/dev/sda2 - Windows 8 partition
/dev/sdb1 - NTFS partition (where I keep Windows data)
/dev/sdb2 - Linux swap
/dev/sdb3 - Debian
/dev/sdc1 - Live CD (explained later)
Both swap and Debian are primary partitions.
During installation I got this error: GRUB installation failed (which was fine according to the tutorial)
Now the tutorial suggests installing the GrubEFI, using a Live Ubuntu USB (dev/sdc) that boots into EFI.
The problem is I'm supposed to find a EFI system partition, to mount it on /boot/efi
But it seems there isn't one.
Can you please help me out to solve this?
