You have Windows installed in BIOS with MBR(msdos) partitioning.
You have Ubuntu installed in UEFI with gpt partitioning.
You should be able to boot Windows by going back into UEFI and turning UEFI off. But to boot Ubuntu you have to go into UEFI and turn UEFI on. Not an easy way to dual boot.
All systems must be either UEFI or all BIOS to easily dual boot.
Windows will only boot from gpt partitioned drives with UEFI. And with UEFI only boot from gpt drives.
Ubuntu will boot from gpt drives with either UEFI or BIOS and boot repair can convert if drive is gpt.
IF drive is MBR(msdos) you can only boot from BIOS mode.
When you use Windows on a drive that was gpt it only deletes the primary gpt partition table. But gpt keeps a backup partition table and Windows does nothing with that. Then LInux tools see a MBR table and the back up gpt table and do not know how to handle the drive.
GUID Partition Table detected, but does not seem to be used.
Best to use fixparts and remove gpt data if drive really is MBR.

First backup partition table, use your drive for sdX or sda, sdb etc.
sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sdX > parts.txt
It looks like you have Windows 8 in hibernation which is always is unless you specifically turn it off. You will not be able to mount those partitions from Linux as the hiber file flag locks it.
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.

It defaults shutdown to a hybrid hibernation/off state for fast boot

But then files may be corrupted similar to Windows 7 Hibernation:

Since Windows is in BIOS boot mode it may just be better to convert Ubuntu to BIOS mode. To get grub to install in BIOS mode on a gpt drive you need to create a tiny bios_grub partition. I would leave efi partition, perhaps for future use.
In a GPT partition map, the 31 kiB area after Master Boot Record where GRUB is usually embedded to, does not exist. When GRUB can't be embedded, its only option is to use blocklists, which are unreliable and discouraged. Thus, you must make a separate "BIOS boot partition" to hold core.img. BIOS Boot Partition only needs to be about 32 KiB in size, although in most cases make it 1 or 2 MiB because of partition alignment issues. It can be anywhere on drive and has no format.
You can set bios_grub flag in gparted (right click flags) & no format
In GPT fdisk (gdisk), give bios_grub a type code of EF02.
Or with terminal - see man parted:
sudo parted /dev/sda set <partition_number> boot on
Then you should be able to use Boot-Repair to uninstall grub-efi and install grub-pc. Only install grub boot loader to the MBR of sdd and set UEFI/BIOS to boot in BIOS mode from sdd.
