with windows-7 / 32bit installed I was able to

get mageia-5/64bit DVD to start in UEFI mode.

The only new thing was that it asked me
create a EFI/boot 32bit partition. During
disk partitioing

The installation went smoothly.

When I rebooted there was no dual boot grub screen.

It straight booted into windows.

Any idea what went wrong ?

Can anybody HELP ?

Thanks

Your windows 7 was installed in non-UEFI mode as it's 32bit ? It's a bad idea to mix up UEFI and MBR-style legacy installations ...
See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installation ... th_Windows and https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_o ... I_firmware and maybe https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_in_du ... 8_and_over
