Hello All!
A few days ago, I installed Ubuntu on my HP desktop and followed all the directions. I intended to have a dual boot computer with Ubuntu and Windows.
After all that hardwork , I am unable to log into windows in the grub menu. I see a message that says "Can't find command drivemap" "Invalid EFI file path."
I tried a lot of options found on ubuntu forums on the internet.
I can confirm that when I was installing Ubuntu, I created the partitons on the largest available free space on the disk ( 930 MB). I am unsure if that contributed to the issue. The installations instructions did indeed say to pick a large free space. I can also confirm that I might have gotten confused while creating the EFI. Now I see /EFI and boot/efi. I am unsure if I there are supposed to be 2 EFI partitions. The link below will show you the screenshot with the 2 EFIs.
I am kinda fed up now.
Can some one please tell me how I can just recover all my windows files and programs?
I dont care about reinstalling/ recovering windows. I can just buy a new computer.
I dont care about reinstalling/ recovering Ubuntu.
I dont care about recovering and Ubuntu files either.
All I care about is recovering my windows files and programs.
I appreciate your time and effort.
