Win7 - Ubuntu dual boot
I have been struggling for a day recovering my Windows' boot after installing Kubuntu 18.04 LTS. Here is the information from sudo fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 223.6 GiB, 240057409536 bytes, 468862128 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

/dev/sdb8 2858455040 3907028991 1048573952 500G 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition 5 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition 6 does not start on physical sector boundary.
It seems that I made a big mistake by having created an EFI partition for the Linux system. The Windows boot used to be in the /dev/sda1 but is no longer accessible from Linux (with a file explorer). So does anyone have any idea about how to fix this? Deeply appreciated.
