If anyone is willing and able, I'm in serious need of some assistance!
I've been running a dual-boot Ubuntu 14 and Windows 10 machine for a few months without any problems. I recently tried upgrading from Ubuntu 14 to 15 through the Ubuntu OS, and it seems I've crashed my OS. During the upgrade/installation there were a few error messages that popped up, but I dismissed them. The installation claimed it was successful, but upon reboot the Ubuntu 15 OS won't load.
When I start my machine I get the expected boot-option menu: 265264
When I select Ubuntu I get this (blank) screen indefinitely (it's run for >6 hours): 265265
I tried booting from a "recovery mode": 265266
But I get this monstrosity that indefinitely stops (the error seems to be "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init exitcode=0x00007100"): 265267
If I truly botched the upgrade/installation, that's fine. I have everything backed up and I'm okay with performing the dual-boot procedure from scratch. The problem, and this is the part I'm terrified to skew up, is that I don't know how to reset my drives.
Here is an image from my disk management screen on Windows 10: 265268
As you can see, I have a handful of unnamed partitions. If someone could carefully instruct me on how to consolidate these drives so it's partitioned similarly to factory defaults, I would be eternally grateful. I need to know what drives I can and CANNOT modify (I really don't want to break Windows and I want to maximize free drive space). Any advice on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.
If you need any clarification, I will happily oblige.
Thank you in advance for your help.
