Hey,
I tried smashing it all into the title but here is the more detailed version of my story:
I've been using a dualboot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my desktop pc for a while and everything worked out great until I decided to upgrade to Windows 10. After upgrading, nothing worked, grub just went into rescue.
I then used a live usb stick to run boot-repair, which at least got the system back running. However, I did not get the OS selection at startup but it just booted straight into Windows 10.
Next step was - again - a live usb stick to run gparted and see that my Ubuntu partition showed up as unallocated space. Using testdisk I was able to restore this partition, after reboot I could boot into Ubuntu. BUT not into Windows 10. Another round of gparted showed that now the Windows partition was marked as unallocated space...
Using testdisk another time I was able to restore the Windows partition, but not the Ubuntu partition. So here is the heart of the problem: I can't restore both partitions at once because testdisk gives me "bad structure" when I try to activate them all.
Has anybody else faced this problem and can help?
Cheers,
Matthias
