Hello all!

After finally being able to install and get Ubuntu to dual boot, I tried to go back to Windows to get some files to transfer and I got the error code above. When installing Ubuntu I chose the something else option and created the partitions myself. How do i get windows to start working again?

Um I may have found my problem.... when I was doing the partitions manually it looks like Ubuntu took my entire old C drives and mounted it as /home... is there any way to fix that? Because now I'm kinda freaking out

I make it very easy for you, do this in Ubuntu.

1)open a new Terminal, then type the following commands (press Enter after each line):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo sed 's/trusty/saucy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)

2)type 'boot-repair' in a terminal

3)Press Repair

Vote me as your solution to help other if this works.
