I've actually had a good experience with ALVR lately, specifically the nightly version. WiVRn (Monado) has gotten pretty good too. You might consider testing vr on linux out again if you haven't recently.

yeah disconnecting the fedora drive while doing repairs is important.

Always unplug your Linux drives when doing windows work, makes your life easier.

I once borked my windows install because I left the designated (not yet installed) Linux drive plugged in - then windows decided for some God forsaken reason to install the bootloader on the Linux disk. Had to copy the bootloader from install disk like someone else in this thread already typed out.

Windows install will have a back up bootloader that you can copy over or you can use the install media

I’ll give the install media instructions, you can do it from your Linux install if it’s able to see the Windows files

Launch Command Prompt with Shift+F10

List Disks with

list disk


Select desired disk with

sel disk #


Create the boot partition

create partition efi size=100


Select Boot

sel partition 1


Format Boot

format fs=FAT32 quick


Assign Boot partition

assign letter=g:


Copy the boot files to the partition

bcdboot c:\Windows /s G: /f ALL

I had the exact same problem with regular Fedora KDE. In my case it turned out that it didn't wipe out the entire Microsoft bootloader because there was a backup bootx64.efi. In the end I downloaded a windows installer iso, copied the boot* files and directory to efi/Microsoft/boot and copied that bootx64.efi and added it to the grub menu using the 40_custom file in grub.d and applied grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

To boot from grub you use set root and chainloader /... which you then write as a menuentry

Sorry for the bad reply but I'm working

Given that you installed Linux on a separate drive, it's likely that the Windows bootloader is perfectly fine but your BIOS chooses to prioritize the Linux disk. I would check if you can still select the Windows drive / installation in the BIOS / boot media selection.

Typically, Fedora should also add the Windows installation to its bootloader (docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/q…). It uses os-prober to find other operating systems. Can you post the output of sudo os-prober?

Edit: The output of lsblk -f would also be useful (though you may want to anonymize it first).

This is my thought as well. Why do you believe it was deleted? It’s probably still there, you’re just not booting it. Even easier, pull up your boot menu when you start your computer and see what’s there. I bet you’ll see windows and can select it?

I just can’t imagine Linux doing this. If it’s really gone, I’d seriously question what you did - (did you install to a wrong drive, did you format a partition by mistake, etc?)
