Why does Ubuntu hate me, /g/? Has dual/multi-boot ever caused anyone else this much trouble?

Google ur issue faggot, and I'm talking about ur tech issue, not your mental issue

Insightful response, thanks for contributing to the conversation.
Googling was the first thing I did, fuckface, I've spent hours and hours trying to figure this shit out to no avail.

>>59622574
sounds like you GRUB didn't install properly. have you formatted the drive, installed windows and then tried it again?
>>
>>59622980
I really can't format the disk at this time, I do everything on my computer and AFAIK, I have no way of reinstalling Windows if I were to format it.
I formatted the partitions Ubuntu installed to and tried again, but it still didn't work. boot-repair did fuck all, and I am not sure about any workaround regarding boot managers on the Windows side of my partition.
Is formatting the entire disk, reinstalling Windows then installing Ubuntu the only way from where I am, or can I install another boot manager without having to worry about file damage?

Dude, just run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" from chroot or live

>>59622574
Try GRUB rescue disk

/g/ is not your personal techsupport, you imbecile. Ask this shit in the /fglt/ or a linux support forum. Also stop calling it

Did it, only gave me an error message saying it couldn't complete.
>>
>>59623219
Also this, its really simple
>>59623079
>>
>>59623219
I called it that once, it's also helpful to know which version of the software you're dealing with.
>>
>>59623252
It is Ubuntu 16.04, Linux version is most likely 4.x

Kys, OP

Thats the problem. Use syslinux

>>59622574
try booting into windows and disabling fast startup. This keeps the drive half-awake and doesn't allow it to be mounted.
>>
>>59622574
>too afraid I will brick my entire disk by mistake
Why? Just start over.
>>
>>59622943
Seeing you are massive retard, I'll give my best guess.
During the installation process, you installed boot loader on /dev/sdaX instead of /dev/sda or whatever.
Just list all the disks and install GRUB in master.

>>59622574
Install gentoo
