My Windows boot partition is on my 1st SSD while I'm installing Linux on my 2nd one, trying to grub-mkconfig results in no Windows Boot Manager being added.
Running os-prober by itself inside chroot shows no results, whereas it does give results outside of it. What am I missing?
It's a really weird issue I've never had before
I've attempted to add a custom entry for grub but couldn't do it

i seriously don't like messing with grub, I'd rather just spam the bios boot key and select the windo*s boot manager.
spiral pagoda
Well I've never had to mess with grub before at all, it just always worked up to this
idk is it because I'm on 2 drives?
lament siren
how did you install arch?
spiral pagoda
Still in the middle of doing it
lament siren
the archinstall script?
lament siren
oh
spiral pagoda
Always worked manually, now with my new laptop it's giving me trouble
lament siren
okay so i think it only detects where the operating system is
spiral pagoda
I'd say it doesn't support it but why does os-prober work outside of chroot
spiral pagoda
okay so i think it only detects where the operating system is
Yea that's the point, but the problem is that it DOESN'T inside chroot
spiral pagoda
wish I could generate the grub config from the outside lol
lament siren
it shows copying to ram at the start too
spiral pagoda
maybe because it's a live iso?
Yea but that's what it has always done
it always worked until now
lament siren
well i don't have great knowledge about grub, maybe someone who does might be able to help because EVERYTIME I mess with grub i lose my whole system
spiral pagoda
Weird thing is I can't find anything about this issue online, it not working inside chroot but outside of it
lament siren
try chatgpt thing
spiral pagoda

have you tried mounting the partition as suggested in the wiki
spiral pagoda
Yea no luck, mounting it either on a random folder or inside the EFI partition didn't work
I just installed normally, booted into the installed Linux and then added Windows to Grub there
now everything is as it should be but
this has never happened before
and I don't get what exactly I did wrong

high vine
is there another way to chroot?
yeah, chroot
spiral pagoda

high vine

spiral pagoda
Well no I always use arch-chroot

#11251 📣 if you don't need help with this anymore, add [SOLVED] to the start of the post's title (for example, the title could say [SOLVED] pacman not working)
if you're on a laptop or desktop computer, see the note on archiving by sending a message that says ... archive.
high vine
unless you still want help with it
spiral pagoda
Well it's already done anyway, if anything I'd have more questions but if you want this closed then fine
THE SOLVE IS TO ADD WINDOWS TO THE GRUB MENU AFTER INSTALLING AND BOOTING INTO LINUX
just in case lol
os-prober not finding Windows Boot Manager inside arch-chroot, but outside of it it does [SOLVED]
