A few months ago, I had Windows 8 as the only operative system on my computer and I wanted to install Ubuntu, having both operative systems on my pc (dual boot). However, after supposedly installing Ubuntu, I wanted both Ubuntu and Windows 8 to appear on the screen when booting (so I could choose which one I wanted to work with), and that's when the problem appeared. In the terminal, I followed a tutorial that could make the dual boot work (I don't remember what I wrote) and, all of a sudden, all of my partitions were gone. I initiated the computer again and it would go straight to the BIOS. Then, after several tries, I somehow installed Ubuntu and have been working on it since. However, I know that all of my partitions are messed up and now that I need both Windows and Ubuntu on my pc, I really need to figure this out. I really appreciate any help that you can give.

Here's a print screen of gparted enter image description here which shows all of the partitions on the computer.

  • From the picture it appears that Windows has been deleted. You would need to re-install Windows following the answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6317/how-can-i-install-windows-after-ive-installed-ubuntu – Organic Marble Sep 04 '14 at 02:35

The answer to your question can be found in this post.

You'll need to boot a liveCD/USB in order to re-size a system partition, and the Ubuntu 14.04.1 LiveCD/USB image comes with GParted.

Click on the partition you wish to expand, then click the orange arrow to expand it. If another partition exists, you may need to delete it. enter image description here

To reformat a partition for windows, right click the partition, then choose "Format", and use the NTFS file system.
