By mistake I deleted the windows EFI disk 8
Hi all
I was installing a LINUX OS for dual boot on my sony vaio e series. I was unaware of sure thing of EFI BIOS. When I was installing linux EFI, by mistake I formatted the EFI disk for windows. Now, I have linux with me, but I am unable to boot Windows on my machine.
Now I am unable to RUN windows and also to reset. Is there a solution to this?
If you set mode 'legacy' in the BIOS then you must return to "UEFI" then run the recovery disc to factory...

You cannot extend a partition back by using disk management.
There are two ways to do this:
First of all, you could download ind run a third party partition manager - the one I use is GParted. It is booted from the CD and will do exactly what you want without deleting all data.
You can get it here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/The other method is to backup your data, delete the partition, it is on and then create a new partition of the total free space. If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog
