    Hello there,

    I am trying to dual boot Windows 8 (pre-installed) with Fedora 20 on my Asus VivoBook S200E. I am booting using a live bootable USB. I changed the settings in the BIOS so that I was able to boot from USB, and this was fine, but after installing Fedora on a separate partition, I am unable to choose any boot options. If I reboot my notebook without having the USB plugged in it goes straight to the BIOS screen and shows me no options to boot from. When I leave the USB in, it boots straight from the USB. When I go to the boot options in the BIOS there are boot options and there is no option to add boot options, only to delete (even though there are no options to delete from).

    I have tried disabling 'Launch CSM', 'Fast Boot', and 'Secure Boot Control', but to no success.

    When I boot into the Fedora Installation, I can see that the Fedora partition has been created and exists and that my Windows 8 partition still exists.

    Any ideas as to how I can resolve this? Sorry for being a nuisance!

    Many thanks.

    EDIT: Manage to resolve myself.
