I was trying to dual boot Ubuntu 13.10 alongside Windows 8 using a LiveUSB but when attempting to install Ubuntu, it didn't recognize my Windows 8 install.
I did a couple things trying to get it to recognize it from this link and also tried zapping GPT structures as well. I believe when I zapped the GPT structures, bad things happened.
Now Windows 8 will not boot but says it needs to be repaired. It references the winload.efi file missing or something.
I tried making a Windows recovery USB, but it is unable to refresh because the drive is locked, and it will not reset because a required drive partition is missing
.
I never ended up going through with the Ubuntu install just to make sure everything else stayed put. I can see all my old files and all the old partitions are still there.
How can I fix this?
