    ok.
    Here what i would do:
    1) backup the documents you can still access if you haven't yet
    2) try to recover access to Windows this way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...ta/7Bootloader . If it fails, reinstall Windows.
    3) reduce Windows partition to 50GB via WIndows partitionning tools.
    4) install Ubuntu the standard way (no Wubi!): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall

    if any problem, please indicate the URL provided by Boot-Repair

    Hi Yann

    2) does not work for me. bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr say
    "the system cannot find the path specified"

    When I try to reinstall windows, no drivers appear and I cannot choose where to install it.

    When I am in ubuntu my harddrives are all there, they are also there in the BIOS.
    What do you recommend?

    If i were you, i would format the disk in NTFS via Gparted, then reinstall Windows, then install Ubuntu.
