Thanks for the response, I checked out testdisk and my windows partition seems to be damaged. My only option is to rebuild to boot sector, but I'm not sure what that means for my windows partition and what the consequences may be.
After reading more threads, my guess is that my windows partition is encrypted.
Also, im running windows 7 so I don't think that fast boot is an issue.
Code:
sudo fdisk -lu /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 256.1 GB, 256060514304 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 31130 cylinders, total 500118192 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Before installing ubuntu I did resize my partition using the windows disk manager. Do you think this is why I'm having this problem? And if so, what would be the safest approach.
