Booting into grub mode

So while installing Garuda
I picked the option of installing Garuda alongside windows, so resize the windows partition and alloted 100 GB to Garuda after restarting system it booted into grub-mode
There is no normal.md or grub config file
Please help me with this

I did
ls (hd0,gpt7)
Filesystem is btrfs
ls (hd0,gpt7)/
atsymbol:cache/ @/ atsymbol:root/ atsymbol:tmp/ atsymbol:home/ atsymbol:log/ atsymbol:srv/

Dualbooting is not officially supported. People do it, though. Have you tried searching the forum for answers?

Delete the Garuda partition.
Boot into windows using boot menu from bios.
Open cmd as administrator.
Type diskpart.
Type list disk and then see the number for your disk.
Then type sel disk yournumberhere
Then , list vol
See the number for the partition which is windows efi partition usually 100mb in size and is tagged as hidden/system with fat32.
Type sel vol yournumberhere
Then type assign letter x
Then type exit

Type in x:
then dir
You will most probably have a folder named EFI
So , cd EFI
Then again dir
See the folders present with the name Garuda or grub or whatever.
Then rmdir (name of garuda folder)/s
Then rmdir (name of grub folder)/s

Reboot.
Reinstall with Rufus ,NO Ventoy. With a separate efi partition for Garuda.
After installation DO NOT REBOOT.
cd into the newly installed partition and enable OS_PROBER for grub in config file.
Reboot into Garuda, do not worry if you do not see windows in the boot menu.
Open terminal and regenerate the Grub config
using: grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg in terminal.
Done !

Tip.

You can just use

sudo update-grub

if you use Garuda Linux :slight_smile:
