I am running windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.04 on a Sony Vaio SVE14A27CXH.
I had installed both, and had the dual-boot working, but after i tried to mount my windows partition in ubuntu using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mo...dowsPartitions , i haven't been able to boot windows 8; it gives windows error 0xc000021a on "windows boot UEFI loader" and "error: can't find command "drivemap" and "error: invalid EFI file path" when i try "windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda3)". I tried the recommended settings in boot repair, which yielded a recommendation of retrying after creating a boot partition via tools like gParted. I have tried to refresh my PC through the troubleshooting menu, but it says that there was an error. I have also tried a linear drive test, which was negative.
I tried to execute a system restore, but it says I "must enable system protection on this drive [drive C:]" and the checkbox to select that drive is greyed out.
I have very little knowledge of ubuntu code, so if any solution involve a command prompt, if the lines could be written out for me so i just have to copy paste, that would be fantastic.
I am about to try using the linux-secure-remix on a liveusb to try bootrepair again. I will post the boot-repair pastebin.
Thank you to whoever responds in advance!
