Bios doesn't recognize Windows 8
I've been trying to install Ubuntu on my computer today to dual boot with Windows 8.1. I created a 10 gigabyte partition for Ubuntu and then tried to install it. During the installation process, I selected something else. I set aside 1 gigabyte for the swap area and the remaining 9 gigabytes as the Ext4 mounted on /. Then when I clicked install, it would go to the next page but then a popup message appeared with only question marks and then it went back to the page where it asks how I would like to install Ubuntu.
At this point, I tried it a few more times and then I decided to give up and come back at another time and so I clicked the restart button in Ubuntu. Now, whenever my computer boots, it says that there are no bootable devices recognized by the computer. It will only boot when I have the USB with Ubuntu on it plugged in. I checked the boot-priority list in my BIOS and it lists HDD0 as first but it doesn't boot to Windows when I start my computer. I will try boot-repair now but I just wanted to get this question out there in case it doesn't work.
I guess I kind of have two questions. The first is how would I get my computer to recognize and boot to the Windows partition. The second would be if I proceeded to attempt to dual boot with Ubuntu, what steps should I take?
This is my first time working with anything Linux related and any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my only computer and I need it for work. Thanks in advance!
