I migrated from Linux Mint after some problem with NVIDIA, wifi and login loop, to Ubuntu, but with doing this site instruction to save my home folder I have a gain those problems which I have asked some of them here and here:

NVIDIA driver problem after migration to Ubuntu 18.04

Problem with installing Ubuntu 18.04 (dual boot and separate home folder, NVIDIA graphic card miscellaneous),but run Ubuntu from USB works fine

in that situation Ubuntu stuck in login loop and after that I must press ctr+alt+f3 and run sudo startX by setting NVIDIA to xconf... option and doing sudo apt purge nvidia* (before pseudo startx`). to have access to low resolution screen and not installed correctly Intel driver which is annoying to work with. for some more info you could see my previous question.

I have tried to install Ubuntu from live USB and trying to format /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda7 and setting them to /home/ and / Respectively but during instillation it got some error and for new restarting from live USB it stuck in installation process and now it can not show my hard drives for first time and after running sudo fdisk -l it showed my hard partitions except /dev/sda7 as you can see here:

enter image description here

so the output of the sudo fdisk -l is:

Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition table entries are not in disk order.

So what do you suggest doing according this post:

This has been asked in many places. You need to change SSD controller setting in BIOS from RAID to AHCI, or Linux won't find it.

But the downside is that you need to fix or re-install your Windows in AHCI mode.

Why one of partitions don't shown after using fdisk command?, Also after doing this is my dual boot deleted or not? if yes how can recover again it to have access to win and Ubuntu like before migration with new Ubuntu OS?

Thanks for your attention.

    Anytime you have an abnormal shutdown which it seems you did in closing install in middle, you may need fsck to repair partition. Run this on your sda7 & sda3, example shows using sdb1. https://askubuntu.com/questions/642504/ubuntu-14-04-is-not-booting-normaly-after-a-manual-hard-boot/642789#642789 – oldfred Nov 11 '19 at 21:38
  • Thanks @oldfred, i will check it now. – Soheil Paper Nov 11 '19 at 21:42
  • So i means to run sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sda7 or sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sdb1 based of above line or do sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sda1 ? what is different of sda with sdb? – Soheil Paper Nov 11 '19 at 21:45

    Drives are sda, sdb, sdc, etc. Partitions are then the numbers after the drive, like sda1, sda2, sdb1, sdb2, etc. The example is just for sdb1 (first partition on second drive), you do not even have a sdb drive? Your parted list should show what drives & partitions you have. And fsck can only run on ext2, ext3, or ext4 formatted partitions. The two commands are a version that does not require you to say y (yes) on an error and command that will ask you y, but auto answers so it can run without lots of y's, if needed. – oldfred Nov 12 '19 at 00:04
