help hide icons or create manual stanza?

[myself]

I'm trying to dualboot between Linux and Windows with rEFInd working for Linux, but Windows is giving me multiple icons with several icons do not work, so I just need 1 manual stanza with the option "reboot to harddrive" for Windows...

I removed the # before "showtools" in the refind.conf to enable hidden_tags, I press delete or minus (-) to hide icons, but some of the icons keep coming back after I restart. I only want 2 icons, 1 for Linux and 1 for Windows. I tried changing the line regarding which boot loaders to display, if I set it to only "scanfor internal" then the only icon I see is for Linux (which means I only need to add 1 for Windows now) but when I set to "scanfor internal,firmware" then I get 3 extra non-working icons which I don't want...

The only way I can access Windows is by choosing "reboot to hard drive" thats the only 1 that works on this PC -side note- the only reason I'm using rEFInd is cuz I couldn't get grub to work for some reason (even tho I use grub2win just fine on my other PC) since I think this particular system is running Windows in Legacy mode, I know I need to switch it to EFI but I can't do that until I am ready to reinstall Windows, which I'm not at that point yet with this PC so anyway...)

I can add to "scanfor internal,firmware" and by adding firmware I can now see the "Reboot to harddrive" icon, but then it also shows "reboot to floppy" and "reboot to cd" and another 1 which I cannot delete or hide, those 3 they keep coming back after I restart.... I also realize there is the option for "manual" to create my own stanzas, but I'm not sure how to do that? so is there anyone that can help with creating 1 manual stanza just for the "reboot to harddrive" option?? then I can finally enable my minimal theme and I'll be done!

I hope that's not too confusing, thanks :)

Use scanfor internal,hdbios and also read the documentation, or at least notes in the config file, next time you have issues.

bro I did use "hdbios" that was the FIRST thing I tried, and I already explained that did not work. I'm not sure why, but I believe (as I already said) its probably because my current windows is in Legacy mode and not EFI. I already said I realize I need to re-install Windows but I'm not at that point yet...

Like I said, the ONLY one that works for MY windows is "boot to harddrive" via the "scanfor firmware" option, I thought I was clear about that in my post, but I guess I did not specificy the words "hdbios isn't working" psh

I literally just tried "scan for internal,hdbios" (again) and it won't work, so thanks for telling me to read the documentation (like how else would I know about stanzas? lol)

I guess I'll just wait to see if I can fix it AFTER i reinstall windows, I just didn't think my question would result in such a non-answer... since I did try asking in some other forums too, I guess I'm the only person to ever have this issue

I already explained hdbios did not work

There is no mention of hdbios anywhere in your original post.

Bottom line is that without this in your scanfor list, a legacy BIOS boot disk will not be scanned and not be displayed.

hdbios is literally step 1... why would I be asking this question?

Yea I figured it out already, thanks

Calm down bro. Dakanji is only trying to help and your attitude is not helping you.
