    Windows 8.1 and Kali EFI

    I recently was able to create a bootable usb of Kali for EFI settings. However after installing Kali with its grub bootloader it looks like it didn't install over my sda. I have been trying to reinstall Grub2 on the EFI partition that Windows created but with no luck. Below are my outputs.
    Code:
    WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

    sda5 is the Kali installation and sda6 is the swap. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreicated. Thanks in advance
