    Re: Unable to find, view or access Windows 8 files after Ubuntu install

    If you mount sda1 and sda4

    Manual mount, must be unmounted if mounted automatically by nautilus file brower. Do this for both sda1 and sda3
    sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1
    sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

    cd /mnt/sda1
    ls -l
    If you see a Microsoft folder or an efi folder change to it. I want to see if any efi files.
    cd /Microsoft
    ls -l

    This issue is the efi partition should be first, but it is bit unusual to have a FAT32 later on drive with UEFI system. Maybe the original efi partition was copied like the main c: drive? And then sda1 reformatted. If sda1 is empty I would prefer to convert it to the efi partition. And if either have a Microsoft folder with efi files that would be great.
