A few months ago, after the ubuntu14.04, due to improper guidance, the start-up interface Win8 has been invalid, always loop into the startup item selection interface.
Before the Ubuntu Chinese forum to find related issues, and finally in an old post found in the launch screen by pressing "E" to edit the startup item after the boot, and finally succeeded. However, each reboot will revert to the previous state, if each time to start the need to modify, it is tragic =. Any startup problem, basically can be modified in Ubuntu under the grub solution.
Here's how I managed to boot Win8 under Ubuntu.
- Start Ubuntu and go to the/boot/grub/directory
- Use sudo to modify grub.cfg file permissions
sudo chmod 666 grub.cfg
Vim Grub.cfg
- Locate the Startup item content, and modify it according to the item you want to boot, using the paragraph "Menuentry < start Item description > '". Since I was modifying the ' Win8 ' boot entry, so I directly delete the original startup item, based on my system installed on the C drive, directly do the following boot
Menuentry ' Win8 ' {insmod ntfsinsmod ntldrset root= (hd0,1) search--set-f/bootmgrntldr/bootmgr}
- Save after modification, change back to original GRUB.CNF permission
sudo chmod 444 grub.cfg
- Restart, select "Win8" in the startup item to start the win8! perfectly
