edit: sda1 supposed swap space ubuntu says @ startup theres problems mounting it?

do want news or bad news?
news ubuntu nice os , can sorts of useful things it.

curious fdisk recognizes sda1 swap bootinfoscript not. may give hope sda2 is, assume, w7 os. however, windows boot files not locatable either bootinfoscript or ubuntu's os-prober.

oldfred may have tricks sleeve.
approach load windows cd , attempt repair.
