    Booting Windows not from BIOS but from Code


    I have BIOS-like hardware initialization code that is written for a tiny linux kernel. it does some complex initialization, and checks a few things on the Windows partitions for security. it needs to be invoked *before* Windows starts up.


    is there a way, without a full reboot, to pass control from a running small linux to windows? that is, can one boot windows from linux? when windows shuts down, it can shut down for good. it need not return to linux.

    :)

    Windows stuck in automatic repair; Can't access BIOS/ boot menu

    I've changed the boot order through both BIOS and the boot manager, as my original post stated. Neither did anything, but both were functional in the past. Neither listed the windows boot manager, either. Previously, it would boot just as expected whenever
    other media was set as the first option, so I'm pretty sure there are no issues there.

    As my original post suggested, I've already tried out the steps you gave. I've gone through all the options listed in the boot menu, UEFI or not.

    My BIOS and boot menu settings were at their defaults when all of this started, so that's been tried already, if those are what you're referring to.

    Booting Windows not from BIOS but from Code

    Coding language for BIOS?

    That is what I was figuring. C or Assembly. I really like coding in C, so far more then C++.

    Reading over that UEFI Programming steps website. Really cool stuff.
