Hey Everyone
i have a dual boot setup : window and endeavour os
i also had rEFInd installed through endeavour and i regularly used to boot through rEFINd
Yesterday I did some window update and when i reboot it, both endeavour and rEFINd is gone. Both aren’t in UEFI boot entry as well.
I have also tried to disable secure boot and reboot but still rEFINd won’t fired up.
I tried Chroot but it didn’t worked.
Please Help. I really need my data which i stored on Linux.
Looks like you have to go through the whole process of installing refind again from scratch, without deleting anything!
From there, after success, a dual boot setup without refind might be recommended:
Hello, I am pretty new here, and really want to make the switch to Linux (EndeavourOS in this case). There are however few games that utilize anti-cheat that unfortunately don’t work on Linux (yet). Because of that I want to run a dual boot with Windows 11.
I currently have Windows 11 installed on my only NVME 2TB drive. This is how my Disk Management overview looks like:

I have followed following dual-boot guide: [root] Linux dual-boot Windows - General system / Community contributi…

Assuming you have tried the above from the EnOS’ live usb, you could boot it up again and run the following commands and post the output of:
sudo parted -l
efibootmgr -v
Copy the terminal output as text, paste it into your reply, highlight it and press Ctrl-E to format.

It sounds to me as if your NVRAM on the computer was cleared by Windows - so in that case nothings has probably been lost or misplaced. 2 ways that comer to mind for fixing include live ISO boot, arch-chroot, and rerun refind-install - or using efibootmgr to add an entry for rEFInd. Let us know what’s next!

I see two FAT32 partitions on your disk.
Did you create a second EFI System Partition for your EnOS?
5 285GB 285GB 537MB fat32 boot, esp
You could try this boot entry
Boot0002* UEFI OS HD(5,GPT,5bca990b-0329-2c4d-b744-be172428f372,0x21257800,0x100000)/File(\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI)..BO
and see if it works.
In the live session open a terminal and run:
sudo efibootmgr -o 0002,0005,0006,0003,0004
Reboot.

so I tried doing chroot and re-run refind-install it worked
In my trial, I actually forgot to repair the grub after chroot. Only after your suggestion, did I suddenly remember it. (dumb me )
so what did I do?
boot into the live iso environment
arch-chroot
repair the grub
reinstalled refind
change the boot order
bingo
Thank you @pebcak @freebird54 @anon11595408 for your help .

Actually, that UEFI os aka 0002 is not the thing we’re looking for. IDK what it is but it is not that ;-;
