I installed ubuntu 14.04 when it was still in beta, and I clicked the option run along side windows. It seems that it didnt actually do that or possibly broke the boot for it something.

I am still somewhat new to this and messing with the grubs kind of a shaky area for me. Ill attach a picture of my Gparted if that helps any. Would definately appreciate some help.

i just ran sudo fdisk -l and got

  • Is this the only hard drive? There is no NTFS partition for Windows... Can you post the output of `sudo fdisk -l` please and add it to your question. – TuKsn May 14 '14 at 16:40

  • There is some kind of fairness here: when upgrading from 8 to 8.1, Windows removes the grub bootloader... – Déjà vu May 14 '14 at 17:02

    I am running the testdisk now and it has found ntfs (recovery). hopefully this can be recovered. Personally I prefer Ubuntu, but MicroSoft honestly owns gaming at this point. I do appreciate everyone helping out here and will post if this fixed my issue! – ccslover May 14 '14 at 17:10

It looks like it deleted your NTFS partition

I took a quick look, and this utility might let you restore the lost partition:
