Initramfs after Kubuntu 16.04 installation - possibly partitioning error

Question

I installed Kubuntu on my desktop, which had Windows 8.1 installed. The dual-boot options appear but when I try to boot into Kubuntu, I get stuck at an Initramfs terminal. Booting with Live USB, sudo fdisk -lu returns this:

Disk /dev/sdb: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x730c4ee9

Device     Boot      Start        End    Sectors   Size Id Type

Partition 4 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition table entries are not in disk order.

Can somebody help me, please?

Thanks

Could you clarify this a bit? What do you mean by change flag boot as windows to linux? – anonymous2 Nov 02 '16 at 10:23
