I have been using Ubuntu 14.04 alongside Windows 8 for almost a year and a half. And one day when I restarted to switch to Ubuntu I wasn't able to see the grub options for dual boot and when I tried to go to boot options and chose Ubuntu it says "Selected boot device failed". What could be the reason for this and will I be able to recover the data stored on my Ubuntu partition. Please Help

Look at this image for the disk partition

After some surfing around I got the answer. I made a bootable Ubuntu pen drive and chose the option to try Ubuntu. Then followed the instructions here to run boot-repair and I was able to boot to Ubuntu again
