Well... I want to delete everything on the disk. That's the point.

I want to get the entire disk clean and install another OS on it. I'm just paranoid in case there's something on the disk itself...

I'm just wondering before I do it.

I want to clear all of my partitions and everything on my PC and just create a new partition table and make the entire thing one big NTFS, and then I want to...

That was a rather... simple solution.

Thanks.

Not working. None of these solutions are working.

I want to use ffmpeg, but when I try to use "apt-get install ffmpeg" I get this as a result:


Reading package lists...

Alright, thanks for the assistance. I'll mark it as solved.
Now my dual-boot is working perfectly. :D

All I had to do was boot into the second one labeled as a Windows' Recovery Environment? O_e

I kinda feel stupid that I didn't try that. I tried the first one, but you know, it was actually the...

Is there any more information you need? :I

I still have the link from the Boot Repair. I wrote it down,

If it helps, Windows 8 is on /dev/sda3

I have Windows 8 CP installed on my laptop as well as Ubuntu, but Windows 8 will not appear in my Grub menu, meaning I cannot boot from it.

I tried updating my Grub, and doing a Boot Repair, but...

I was able to get it working again using these steps, thanks.

I know I recently posted a question for help, but that was because I was having trouble using Ubuntu again after such while.

And now while using Ubuntu again (10.04 LTS), it asked me if I wanted...

Sorry about that. I tend to play around with my computer a lot. I only made a couple partitions. I don't know where all the other ones came from.

Nope. It still doesn't put it on the list. It's installed to /sda3 if that is of any help.

Thanks, that kinda repaired my grub.

I can boot into Ubuntu now, at least. But for some reason, the Windows 8 CP installation is not on that list.

So I still can't boot back into Windows. If...

Could someone please help?

I used to have Ubuntu 10.xx (don't remember exact version) as my main operating system, and then later, I decided to install Windows 8 CP to try it out.

I didn't get...

This isn't really anything urgent, but my Grub tends to cause some problems and I am afraid if I try to manage it manually, I may end up making it worse. Another problem is that I have an operating...

You people are jerks. I'm just going to reinstall Ubuntu and hope for the best.

Is anyone even going to give suggestions?! I can't even boot my computer because of this!
