Is my first time installing Ubuntu 16.04 and when i was installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 and i have Windows 10 with "UEFI" mode, my version of windows before this was the 7 i don't know why windows 8. When i put the boot mode in the BIOS to "UEFI & Legacy mode" the grub opens and when i select "Windows 8" it throws me an error telling me the
winload.exe
isn't in the "/windows/system32/" i am searching on Internet and i don't found anything.
I don't know what actually happened to your PC, but it may help because when I got GNU grub error I used to use filling commands. May it may help you. I think you have windows 10 installed on you PC and you are using legacy mode, then follow these steps 1.Insert your bootable media of Windows 10(if Windows 10 installed else other) and boot from it. 2.When you will see the choose language box then press shift +F10 keys and you will see the command prompt opened. 3.Then use these commands
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
If both commands made succefully then type exit and close everything. Remove your bootable MEDIA.And start your PC normally, and you will be happy. Hope this will work. Reply if worked or not.
