Hello there,

I wanted to remove the Ubuntu 13.10 entry from Windows Boot Loader with EasyBCD, which I did and saved my configuration. But what happened instead is the Ubuntu 13.10 entry remained while the Windows 8.1's entry got deleted and Ubuntu 13.10 is set as default. Also as I deleted Ubuntu 13.10 from the list, it cannot even boot to Ubuntu 13.10, it shows "\NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr" missing when I boot the computer.

I tried repairing from Windows 8.1 installation USB. However it does not detect the Windows installation, only shows "Ubuntu 13.10" as the available option to select (as it is the only one left in Windows Boot Loader list). Therefore I cannot select Windows 8.1 to repair or restore from the installation USB. I went to the command line in installation USB and created a new boot entry with /create {current} /d "Windows 8.1" /application loader. It said that it created a new entry, but it didn't. When I reboot, it only shows Ubuntu 13.10 as an option to boot into, and which if I select shows "\NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr".
However, I can access my windows C drive from arch linux which I installed later. Arch Linux even detects a "Windows 8 loader" in /dev/sda1. When I select that from GRUB menu, it goes to Windows Boot Loader with only one option as Ubuntu 13.10.

How do I add Windows 8.1 option back to Windows Boot Loader so that I can boot to it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
