I previously had W7 and Ubuntu 14.04 dualbooting, running fine for the longest time.
The other day, I upgraded W7 to W10. Foolish me!
Now, I can no longer boot into Linux! I've used boot-repair, but to no avail.
When (in boot repair) I do an fdisk -l, I get what's seen at the end of this post.
/dev/sda4 looks like it must be my Linux partition, right? It looks like the only thing big enough, but its "extended" label bodes ill.
Furthermore, GParted shows sda4 as unallocated!!!
How can I get my 'buntu back?
Or did W10 squash it?
