I have installed Kali 2017 everything went fine installation finished. After restart GRUB loader don't shows any option to load into Windows only option to load into Kali. I have read somewhere to manually edit grub file like below but after this selecting windows option in grub shows error disk 'hd0,msdos4' not found.

menuentry "Windows 8" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos4)'
chainloader +1
}

enter image description here

Last three partitions are created after installing kali. Also in boot menu in efi only kali grub is showing as boot device. I have tried sudo update-grub too but no success.

update GRUB

enter image description here

There is no windows boot manager in the boot menu there is only option for Kali, have i did something wrong.

You need os-prober to detect your windows.

apt-get install os-prober
update-grub

  • actually i think i have removed the partition which contains boot information of windows. Any way i can repair that ? – rohillasarthak Aug 10 '17 at 19:13
  • AFAIK, there is no such thing as boot information of windows. If you are able to enter Kali from grub, your boot information is intact. Did you try my answer? – Hunter.S.Thompson Aug 10 '17 at 19:16
  • I tried but does't help. – rohillasarthak Aug 11 '17 at 10:07
