I had windows 8 , I dual booted windows with ubuntu 14.04 after a while. Now ubuntu is in partition 1 sda1 and you type this command in Terminal 

 sudo fdisk -l 
    WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1   976773167   488386583+  ee  GPT
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.

It is clear that partition is not at 63 sector and not multiple of 8. After installing ubuntu, when I boot my system it directly boot up into ubuntu and GNU Grub 2.02 shows only Ubuntu Advanced options for ubuntu system setup

There is no windows boot manager displayed. I am completely beginner . Please help me out and explain clearly

I am also adding the result of sudo parted /dev/sda print 

    Disk /dev/sda: 500GB
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
     Partition Table: gpt

  • Note the message about fdisk being useless with GPT disks. Try sudo parted /dev/sda print or sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda instead. Edit your question to add one or both of those results. – Rod Smith Aug 06 '15 at 23:15

There is no Windows installed on this computer, so there is no way to boot into Windows.
