Dual Boot Grub2 problem

I'm running Arch as my sole OS. I would like to add another but grub doesn't recognize my live drive. I've tried using grub-customizer, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I have been able to use the live media on other devices.

Question 1: How can I get arround this?

Question 2: How can I replace grub 2 with something less?

I tried to install rEFInd, but I recieve this error:

[root@touchy pasley]# refind-install
ShimSource is none
Installing rEFInd on Linux....
The ESP doesn't seem to be mounted! Trying to find it....
// doesn't seem to be on a VFAT filesystem. The ESP must be
mounted at //boot or //boot/efi and it must be VFAT! Aborting!

Re: Dual Boot Grub2 problem

Have you read the wiki on Dual booting with Grub?

Do you have os-prober installed? If not, try that.

Can't help on rEFInd, never used it.
