Hi!

I am trying install Gentoo and Windows 8 on my PC but the grub 2 don't detect the windows 8 installation.
I have a XPS 15 L502X and my bios don't have UEFI support.

Thanks for any help.

It might be easier to add the entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, probably something like this (it might need some modification of partition numbers and partition table types):

Code:
menuentry "Windows 8" {
insmod fat
insmod chain
set root=(hd0,msdos1)
chainloader 0+1
}
