So basicly i dual booted ubuntu and windows on my laptop but the problem is windows is gone after I dual booted it
This is basicly what I did:
1 downloaded unetbootin on my windows
2 downloaded the lubuntu iso
3.made a partition for lubuntu
4.booted in lubuntu
5 finish setting up lubuntu
Few Week or So...
6 downloaded kde plasma(which also downloaded ubuntu)
7.switched to kde plasma
Few days later...
8 checked my boot menu if windows was there but wasnt there
9.tried to fix it but all Lead me to reinstall windows or ubuntu which is probably not the problem(ithink)
- Stuck on a dead end trying to find a answer
Thats basically what I remembered doing so its not so accurate.
Now I know that windows is on my laptop because the partition exist
But cant find it on the grub menu
Tried Grub-Update
Didn't work
Tried adding a custom boot option on grub
Didn't work
Tried using boot repair
But it just said the windows is on uefi OR WINDOWSEFI DETECTED
Even though it is not on uefi its on legacy because I dont even remember changing the boot into uefi nor even switching to uefi mode
Asked this community on how to fix this problem
They said to either reinstall ubuntu on uefi or windows on legacy (prob because im bad at explaining the problem)
This all of the clues or solutions i got to fix my problem :

Suggested repair: ______________________________________________________________
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would reinstall the grub2 of
sda6 into the MBR of sda.
Grub-efi would not be selected by default because no ESP detected.
Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s
Blockers in case of suggested repair: __________________________________________
WindowsEFI detected. Please disable BIOS-compatibility/CSM/Legacy mode in your UEFI firmware, and use this software from a live-CD (or live-USB) that is compatible with UEFI booting mode. For example, use a live-USB of Boot-Repair-Disk-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd), after making sure your BIOS is set up to boot USB in EFI mode.
and some suggest to reinstall my ubuntu or windows.
i dont understand some of this so giving this to the profesionals and this is what i can basically give rn. i hope someone can help me with this problem...
A valid NTFS Boot sector must be present in order to access any data; even if the partition is not bootable.theres 3 options "rebuild bs" "repair mft" "dump" what should i do next – Kingrain Jan 16 '24 at 19:15hd0 hd0,msdos5which is prob not even right theres mainly six of those file system I think which is prob corrupted or deleted or grub cant find them because of the mbr being corrupted or something – Kingrain Jan 17 '24 at 15:45
