I have win 7 and installed Ubuntu 18.04. It went well and I used it for most of the day. Then I rebooted and chose win7. It did come up but it couldn't access anything. Like the explorer would not come up and it couldn't run any programs.
I re-installed it and now it comes up but Ubuntu doesn't.
So, I thought I'd go through the Ubuntu install and see if there was an option to "fix", but all it comes up with is to remove that and re-install over it.
Isn't there some way to do this without a complete re-install? (I was so proud to have gotten my Thunderbird contents moved to Ubuntu, I'd hate to have to do that again).
Thanks

Did you have free space on computer to install ubuntu on, or did you have to shrink Win 7 with ubuntu installer? – crip659 Aug 23 '19 at 14:50

I tried a few of them. But that question is a different situation. I have a dual boot on the same drive, not an external drive. There should be a way to get Ubuntu to repair itself without a full reinstall. Or do I just have to keep installing windows and then Ubuntu until they both work? – P Simdars Aug 23 '19 at 18:36

Oh, I probably had enough but I did add some more just in case. Maybe that was it. There should have been plenty of space for the amount I added. Good question though. Maybe now that I have set the space aside I should just install both again. I eventually want to remove the windows. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and forget windows right now. – P Simdars Aug 23 '19 at 18:38
