I'm not really sure what this is, but I'll try to provide as much detail as possible.
About two years ago or so I set up a dual boot (Ubuntu and Windows) just for fun. I enjoyed messing around with Ubuntu because I thought it was fresh and new to me. That doesn't have anything to do with the looping though (I think), it installed successfully and I never had any problems.
On one particular day, I'm not too sure what happened to my computer but I couldn't get on Windows anymore. It was in a continuous boot loop and I wasn't sure what to do. I attempted recovering Windows with a CD but it stopped at 99% (I left it there for two days plugged in).
The strange thing, however, is that my Ubuntu partition works perfectly fine. Additionally, I can still access all of my files on the Windows partition from Ubuntu. So I suppose things could be worse.
However, because I only attributed about 30GB of space to the Ubuntu partition, I have limited space to work with and I'm unsure of how to give more space to the partition. As well, a lot of the programs that I used on a daily basis on Windows doesn't work on Ubuntu, or crawls with Wine to a point where it's not worth it. I'm starting to think that I need to get Windows back, but with the boot loop I'm not sure what I should do. So I guess my question is what exactly should I do?
Thanks for the help.
