Hey there Babsky I'm sorry Boot Repair didn't work make sure you have
the latest version it really makes a big difference. For me if I was
reinstalling I would just try reinstalling the Linux Ubuntu first then
let it find the other operating system like Windows and it should also
see your old Ubuntu installation as well. It should then set your boot
up correctly with the multi-boot then. I would never re-install Windows
because of something like this but you have to make sure its all gd
first. Yo can also repair Windows as a last resort but reinstalling
Ubuntu Studio should solve all those problems and leave you with the
multi boot option for sure. Luckily you can install Ubuntu many times
and that has usually worked for me. Linux first then check it all from
Linux and then from Windows. Good luck Babsky I hope this works it
should.
