mint works fine, when try boot windows, gives me following error:

code:
error: invalid efi file path

google search didn't help. ideas?

you cannot mix uefi & bios looks have done.

windows boots on gpt formated drives uefi. if bios window must have mbr(msdos) formated drive.

ubuntu boot gpt or mbr bios , have gotten boot uefi , gpt windows. grub have few bugs and/or motherboard mfgs have tested windows , may not uefi standard.

have extended partition means drive mbr. if had gpt drive , booting uefi windows have created efi partition. uefi standard requires efi partition first partition on drive. windows wants partition boot.
