I have Windows 8 installed on a separate HDD and Ubuntu on a separate HDD as well.

So I re-installed Ubuntu 14.14 because my previous installation was corrupted. Now when I boot my computer there is no option for windows. I can't even access the HDD because for some reason it's not mounting or Ubuntu isn't recognizing it.

I really need to recover that HDD because I have a lot of my homework on it.

Edit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11052228/ The boot information

What other information do you need to help me fix this?

  • Instead of editing the title to say "Solved", accept the answer that solved it. We have a specific system for that, and this isn't a 'forum' where you have to mark it as 'solved' by changing the title.

Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:

sudo update-grub

If everything is OK, you Windows partition should be recognized at GRUB menu after this command.
