messed up bad... I screwed up... I have 1TB hard drive and a 120GB SSD When I installed windows 8.1 I had that 350mb system reserved partition on the 1 TB hard dirve and windows was on the 120GB SSD... I wanted to install linux ubuntu on the 1tb hard drive and I have never messed with linux before... during the install I chose to set up the partitions myself I didnt want to delete my current partitions... I had 3 total partitions on that disk.. the system reserved and 2 for data.... I installed linux ubuntu onto that disk and it screwed up all my partitions... It deleted them all... all i have is the root file for ubuntu and a swap partition and some 150mb partition that im not to sure what it is... So what im trying to understand is the bootmgr file that windows gets the bcd file from is on that system reserved partition right? Because now I cant boot to windows, I cant even boot from bios when I force it to use the SSD, I get the no operation system found error. How can I fix it system reserved partiton or the bootmgr when its not on the same disk as windows?
 
Solution
try booting to your Windows 8 disk, select troubleshooting, select advanced, select command prompt, then enter "bcdboot c:\windows" and see if that helps.
