I have had windows eight and Ubuntu 13.04 dual booting and working fine(using EasyBCD) I had created partition for Ubuntu of exactly 20GB. Some time later, after never using Ubuntu, I went into Window's partition tool and deleted my Ubuntu partition. It said it erased everything on it. I then added this 20GB onto my hardrive/windows8 partition. I also deleted easy BCD. Everything was going fine. I turned the computer off that night and this morning it said 'windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause' File:\NSTAutoNeoGrub1.mbr status: 0xc000000fI I re-installed Ubuntu from a USB and all my data and Windows system files are there, but I am stuck running ubuntu. I believe all I need to do is find the 'windows8.exe' file and boot from that. Can someone please help here? My error report for boot-repair is: Ubuntu Pastebin Also I tried updating grub using: sudo update-grub, but:Generating grub.cfg ...
