I natively had Windows 10 on my SAGER gaming laptop. However, I installed Ubuntu 20.04 alongside windows 10. I cannot access Windows upon reboot as it is not shown in grub/boot options.

Here's what I see in GParted. Is there any hope I could still access Windows or the data on it?

Based on your "Gparted" data, there is no Ubuntu OS installed, and no free space for you to install it.

  1. Windows Task: Free some space (say 100G from the Windows "Basic data partition"), using Windows "Disk Management" -- shrink it! And you should be able to see the availbale free space. From my (limited) experience, you don't even need to format it.
  2. Ubuntu task: Boot your system through a bootable Ubuntu USB disk; follow the prompt. And let Ubuntu do the rest, including fixing your boot up sequence.

It worked for me. Hope it does for you too. Good luck.

Download a fresh Ubuntu ISO and perform the checksum verification. Reinstall Ubuntu using the new verified ISO image. A successful installation of Ubuntu would resolve your booting issues. There is probably nothing wrong with your Windows10.
