Last year I blew away my Windows 8 trying to work through some Ubuntu 14.04 upgrade issues. I recently saw a Youtube video where Windows 7 was installed on an Ubuntu 14.04 PC.
Step 1. I shrunk my Ubuntu partition
Step 2. Successfully installed Windows 8.1 on the unallocated space (240GB)
Step 3. Used Easy BCD 2.2 to create Ubuntu boot menu. I saw Ubuntu on the hard drive. After installation, the computer boots to the Grub Rescue> prompt. Cannot get back to Windows without resetting PC.
Step 3. Reset PC, then rebooted using live Boot-Repair boot USB. Boot repair will not repair Grub with message 'Filesystem repair requires to unmount partitions. Please close all your programs. Then close this window.' My boot information report is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/10177356/.
Is my Ubuntu salvageable? If so, I need simple step by step actions to accomplish. Any assistance will be appreciated.
