Hello.
I know there are many similar topics but in some of them user wanted to use Grub[2]? bootloader, in others people installed Linux first and then Windows and the rest was posted before EasyBCD 2.2 where UEFI is supported.
So, as you guess, I have UEFI, I installed Windows first (currently Win10) and then Linux (openSUSE 13.1). I want to be able to boot both systems from Windows bootloader.
I don't know if with Linux Grub2 or Grub was installed so with the help of EasyBCD I added 3 entries to the menu: Linux+Grub2+automatic_partition, Linux+Grub+easybcd_grub+automatic_partition, Linux+Grub+manual_partition. None of them work. Here are my partitions:
As manual_partition I've chosen #5 (please note that #1 and #5 have the same address - I don't know if it's important). Last 3 partitions are the Linux ones. Swap, root and home.
And here's the error (I googled my translation so it might be slightly different):
It's weird because it's shown when I try to boot Linux (I can boot Windows just fine), and it's saying "windows failed to start". And if I booted the 3rd entry where I chose partition manually the file is \NST\nst_linux.mbr instead.
Moreover, I've found somewhere that "in a UEFI based system the Windows Boot Manager can only boot Windows systems".
Is it true and I have to reset BCD in EasyBCD so change Windows bootloader to grub and then add Windows or is there another solution using EasyBCD?

and at the bottom:
