Ubuntu and Windows8.1

[Kyle Cotton]

Thank you i have had Grub disappear on me but that is a easy fix but what i mean by Windows being gone is that the OS was totally gone Ubuntu was untouched but the Windows partition of my hard drive was gone and i had 178Gigabytes free where Windows once was. It was very odd.
