Hello.
My Pc had the following partitioning:
70GB (Win 7) , 60GB (Win8) και 568 GB (Data), all partitions NTFS.
I could do normal dual booting as usual.
Then I installed Ubuntu 16.04 and the partitioning  became:
 70GB (Linux-ext4) , 60GB (Win8 NTFS) και 568 GB-NTFS.
But the only choices at grub menu are : Ubuntu, advanced with Ubuntu and mem tests.
No option for Windows at all. I need Windows because I use them some thirty years ago etc etc...

So i run the fdisk -l and the output is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
manos at manos-TURBO-X-Laptop:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[sudo] password for manos:
Disk /dev/sda: 698,7 GiB, 750156374016 bytes, 1465149168 sectors

 So the question is the following: According to this output is at the disk a correct and usefull  win8 partition or not ;In other words does this disk contains two kernels or just one -that of linux ?
Thanks a lot friends.
