Tell me more ×  I am currently dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu. I
created a new partition, on my c drive, to install windows 8 on
(i did not want to do the upgrade). I inserted the windows 8 cd
and restarted my computer. no such partition/ grub rescue is all
that comes up now. I loaded ubuntu from disk and did boot-
repair. It did not solve my problem but I got the following
output  Please let me know if anyone can fix this. I am lost.

ext4 or ext2 partitions at all, but you do have 5 NTFS
partitions. Is one of them where you installed Ubuntu? If it's
/dev/sdc1 then you should follow these instructions to re-
install grub.  It really is better to use an ext4 partition when
you install Ubuntu or any other Linux distro.  share|improve
