Dear anyone
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad e11 with Windows 8.1 pre-installed on it. But I want the options of a dual-boot. So I followed a guide how to install Ubuntu 14.04 next to Windows (http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html). I've followed the steps, but now I'm stuck. I've been reading and trying for 3 days now and am getting frustrated.
From what I understand, Windows is still on my hard drive (on a different partitition than Ubuntu), I just have no clue how to access it.
What do I want to know:
* how to access Windows 8 again
* how to have a Windows option in Grub
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In Grub, Windows doesn't show as an option. I disabled Secure boot in BIOS before, so that I could install Ubuntu, but I've tried re-enabling it but Windows seems to be gone. (I've tried many other things in BIOS as well, like changing the boot border, disabling quick boot etc.) On this forum and others, people suggest many things, from installing programs to using code in Terminal or Grub. But as I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, I don't understand what my problem really is and fear ruining my new laptop. I only have a WindowsImageBackup directory for back-up, but that doesn't appear to work as a boot drive.
->If anyone wants to have a look at my specific problem, I'd be much obliged.
Ubuntu installation log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9149205/ (the installation guide I followed says an error is normal, therefore I had to use Boot-Repair)
