What happened? Need help with CPR.
I began the process by tackling what should have been a straightforward and simple task—dual booting Ubuntu 16.04 on my Windows 10 system. Rushing through it, I neglected to create a backup of the Windows installation. When Ubuntu started, I connected only the SSD drive and followed its prompts to set up a dual-boot. It suggested an easy, pain-free setup, which I accepted, asking it to slightly expand the Ubuntu partition within the Windows partition. Unfortunately, this didn<|pad|> section handled things poorly. I let Ubuntu proceed, but now I’m left with a fresh Ubuntu installation of LTS 16.04. The problem is, Windows isn’t showing up in the boot menu. Attempting to access its partition reveals it’s not mountable because Windows is in hibernation and unsafe. Since I had shut it down earlier, the files are completely unreachable and won’t boot. I tried a Windows boot disk to resolve the issue, but it can’t detect startup issues or locate a restore point or backup. How can I restore Windows and recover my files?
You aim to launch a Windows 10 setup and choose repair over installation. Open the command prompt and run the "cd" command to navigate to your installation directory, likely "C:"—type "cd c:" and verify the presence of program files and Windows folder. If confirmed, proceed. Execute each command individually: bootrec /FixMbr, bootrec /FixBoot, bootrec /RebuildBcd. Upon completion, reboot and the system should start Windows 10. Remove the installation media afterward to prevent automatic booting. For guidance, refer to the link provided: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/10...g-fix.html (src).
You have a 15GB and an 8GB partition on your SSD besides the Ubuntu partition. It looks like one of them might be used for swap space, while the other is likely a regular storage area.
