After that, I have started my Sony Vaio SVE1512Y1ESI notebook (which was already installed Windows 8.1 on) from my USB and I have be able to install this OS at last. At this point I have restart my PC to access Windows partition and, much to my surprise, it has appear a kernel error message on the screen. That's why I have had to restore previous situation to be able to access again that partition.

Presently there are some problems with grub2-2.00 on Fedora finding/creating the Windows entry to chainload the Windows OS Loader. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. But in any case, a work around is to use your firmware's boot manager to choose between booting Windows and Fedora, rather than using the Fedora GRUB menu to chainload the Windows OS Loader.
