I have a Surface tablet so “Just add one more drive” is out of the question. I’ve managed to do this inside Hyper-V (using windows as host) but only by adding one extra drive with linux on it. So I think it should be possible too on linux, everybody is saying that linux is more capable than windows so.
My drive’s partition looks something like this:
nvme0n1p1 100MiB windows boot manager
nvme0n1p2 16MiB window recovery something
nvme0n1p3 250GiB windows root partition
nvme0n1p4 200MiB /boot/efi
nvme0n1p5 500MiB /boot
nvme0n1p6 280GiB / (linux root partition)
The windows partitions are currently unmounted.
I’ve added them until I got a working VM in cockpit-machines. I added supergrub2.iso for debugging purposes and chainloading if necessary.
It doesn’t detect windows boot manager.
This is my virsh output.
sudo virsh edit ps_windowstest
It does recognize supergrub2 tho.
Version: cockpit-machines-319-1 cockpit-system-324.1
OS: Fedora Silverblue 40
Help please, I was trying to do this since 2022 and still have no idea what I’m doing wrong.
