I wanted to try to install Ubuntu, but since I didn't have an available USB I searched how to do it without USB or CD in this post.
I have a UEFI device so decided to follow through, After making the partition and all that I encountered I couldn't change the partition size, so I decided to copy the content from that one into an unused partition that had 8 GB of memory. Well I had to reboot and I encountered the issue.
rEFInd appears as my boot and I have no OS to choose from, ended up having to use a USB device to solve the issue by booting into Windows installation program and using the repair system option.
Now I wanted to get rid of rEFInd, but I don't know how to do it, and I'm also scared of removing that S:
partition because the boot is located there. I figured out I could use this command:"bcdedit /set '{bootmgr}' path \Windows\Boot\EFI\bootmgr.efi", but it gives me an error saying:
element's data type not recognised or it doesn't apply to the specified entry
Execute "bcdedit /?" to obtain help with the command line :
Element not found
(I manually translated this so maybe some words aren't the usual ones in English)
So if anyone knows how to do this I'd be very grateful. It isn't a matter of life or death, since I can finally boot to Windows with no issue, but I'd like to get rid of this.
Answer
There are a couple of posts on our site which could help here.
The post
Reconstructing Windows EFI files in /boot partition
has this answer
which lets you assign the EFI partition a drive letter and restore the Windows boot
environment.
If this is not enough, you could now access the EFI partition via this drive letter
and delete rEFInd as described in
this answer.
