refind not detecting EFI windows partition

Hello,

I have Windows 8 installed through EFI, and the Microsoft efi boot files (bootmgfw.efi, etc) are on a partition with type "EFI System partition" . Refind doesn't list Windows as an efi boot option, apparently because refind doesn't recognize this partition type. Interestingly refit (which I used to use) does find the partition and gives me an option to boot Windows from EFI. Thanks for any help

Windows was on a second internal hard drive, so setting scan_delay to 1 second fixed the issue, thanks
