I found other similar questions but my outputs are different. Firstly, when I write ls with partition names I get same results

this is what I get:

ls
(proc) (hd0) (hd1) (hd2) (hd2, gpt6) (hd2, gpt5) (hd2, gpt4) (hd2, gpt3) (hd2, gpt2) (hd2, gpt1) (hd3)

ls (hd0)/
error: invalid sector size 65535
ls (hd1)/
error: unknown filesystem
ls (hd2)/
error: unknown filesystem
ls (hd2, gpt1)/
efi/ en-us/ bootsect.bak
ls (hd2, gpt2)/
efi/ en-us/ bootsect.bak
ls (hd2, gpt3)/
efi/ en-us/ bootsect.bak
ls (hd2, gpt4)/
efi/ en-us/ bootsect.bak
ls (hd2, gpt5)/
efi/ en-us/ bootsect.bak
ls (hd2, gpt6)/
efi/ en-us/ bootsect.bak

I get same files in all of hd2 in this and whenever I reboot, i get invalid filesystems in random partitions. I have dual booted win10 with ubuntu and I haven't updated windows in some time. I tried boot repair tool with usb but it didnt work, help!

  • Lets see details, use ppa version with your live installer (2nd option) or any working install, not older Boot-Repair ISO: Please copy & paste the pastebin link to the Boot-info summary report ( do not post report), do not run the auto fix till reviewed. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair With multiple drives never run autofix, only use Advanced Options.https://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ – oldfred Jun 28 '20 at 16:49
  • @oldfred https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BqjyYnFxwf/ this was the pastebin repair's report. – Jersey Devil Jun 28 '20 at 18:28
  • Only ext4 partition is on the flash drive with the ISO. Not sure then how you got full /EFI/ubuntu in ESP but no UEFI boot entry. Install on flash drive boots from USB drive boot entry. Your "Windows" boot entry was modified to boot using grub, see line 86 (should never be done, but was in past). Does entry 0006 UEFI boot Windows? You need to use your Windows repair disk to create correct UEFI boot entry. Or See IV & restore Windows entry: https://askubuntu.com/questions/486752/dual-boot-win-8-ubuntu-loads-only-win – oldfred Jun 28 '20 at 18:41
  • Im sorry, I dont understand. Can you explain this in laymans term @oldfred – Jersey Devil Jun 28 '20 at 21:50
  • It does not look like you have installed Ubuntu. Or you deleted it and only have live installer. From UEFI one time boot key often f12 but same key you use to boot live installer should be an entry saying UEFI, does that boot Windows? And cannot really help on details for Windows repairs. – oldfred Jun 28 '20 at 22:41
  • Yes, it does boot windows @oldfred – Jersey Devil Jun 29 '20 at 07:41
  • Make Windows repair disk, if you do not have one. And then fix Windows. Windows 10 repair disk https://askubuntu.com/questions/1156795/windows-hard-disk-read-only-now-windows-is-removed?noredirect=1#comment1925839_1156795 Repair/backup/restore https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/instantanswers/3a747883-b706-43a5-a286-9e98f886d490/create-a-recovery-drive & http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-10-recovery-options – oldfred Jun 29 '20 at 15:02
  • it works now, thanks @oldfred, write this as an answer so I can accept the answer – Jersey Devil Jul 07 '20 at 07:10

Your "Windows" boot entry was modified to boot using grub, see line 86 (should never be done, but was in past). Does UEFI boot entry 0006 "UEFI" boot Windows? You need to use your Windows repair disk to create correct UEFI boot entry.

Your "Windows Boot Manager" boot entry was modified to boot using grub, see line 86 in your report (should never be done, but was in past). Does entry 0006 "UEFI" boot Windows? From UEFI one time boot key often f12 but same key you use to boot live installer should be an entry saying UEFI, does that boot Windows?

You need to use your Windows repair disk to create correct UEFI boot entry. Or See IV for example efibootmgr entries & restore Windows entry:

Dual boot Win 8 / Ubuntu loads only Win
