hi , welcome forums

need do:

when computer starts , see entry ubuntu press "c" drop grub prompt (the 1 posted image of).

enter these commands , post output here:

code:
search -s -f -n /ubuntu/disks/root.disk echo $root
after type "reboot" , go windows.

in windows, make backup copy of root.disk , place somewhere safe external medium (usb stick etc.).

once have output of commands above, can proceed.
