Hey guys,
I'm quite new to the process of setting up linux installations (especially configured as dual boot). I try to set it up on my Vaio Pro 13 via usb install medium.
Basically, I've tried two approaches so far:
1. http://www.tecmint.com/install-centos-7-dual-boot-with-windows-8-uefi-firmware/
Summation: run live usb-stick, create partitioning on my own, result in two efi-boot-partitions.
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QzbX8o7pSY
Summation: run live-usb-stick, create partitioning on my own, but select former windows efi-boot-partition and mount it under /boot/efi
The first try left me with a functioning CentOs, but it killed my windows boot entry. Trying to configure a custom boot entry for windows like in the link described or using grub2-probe failed.
The second version ran as smoothly, but after reboot it directly started windows again. I could not get CentOs to run by editing the boot-load with EasyBCD.
As I'm trying for a while, there are a few threads I read, and things that might be important: during installation of CentOs I were not able to decide where the bootloader should go to (at least I think so). Furthermore, although I was able to mount the windows partition in (1), I wasn't able to recreate the boot entry.
I hope for some new directions (or old ones, if you have an indicator what I might have done wrong), as I'd like to get the dual boot to run quite soon. If I missed any information, please ask, and I'll attach it!
Greetings

- Nov 22, 2014 (Last Updated On: February 4, 2019)This guide will show you how you can easily Dual Boot CentOS 7 with Windows 10. This should also work for dual booting CentOS 7 with Windows 7 & Windows 8. By default, CentOS anaconda installer won’t configure grub to handle NTFS filesystem or partitions. So manual intervention is required.
Windows 10 Dual Boot Ubuntu
The first try left me with a functioning CentOs, but it killed my windows boot entry. Trying to configure a custom boot entry for windows like in the link described or using grub2-probe failed. The second version ran as smoothly, but after reboot it directly started windows again. I could not get CentOs to run by editing the boot-load with EasyBCD. I have Windows 10 dual boot with CentOS. However, I can't access CentOS, my machine start automatically with Windows, and there is no Grub screen to choose CentOS.
