Cannot load Windows 8 Following Ubuntu 14.04 Installation

46

I can now boot Windows 8. Following instructions from the Boot-Repair team, I backed up my current bootmgfw.efi and reverted the backup copy:

sudo mv /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw2.efi
sudo mv /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.bkp /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
sudo modprobe efivars
sudo update-grub

Upon rebooting my computer, I can now access both Ubuntu and Windows.

This might be similar to what happens in the process that Rod Smith suggests above, but I thought that I'd detail exactly what I did to restore my Windows 8 access.

    I am trying to check for when a class is added to the body but my code isn't working, is anyone able to help me?

    function checkFordone() {
        if ($("body").hasClass("done")) {
            $("#mainbar").addclass("finished");
        } else {
            setTimeout(checkFordone, 100);
        }
    }

    Why did someone downvote this? I've checked the fiddle and this is indeed the reason why it's not working. This is clearly a good answer

    You have to check firebug or developer tools. The console would have told you about your typo! ;)

    @icecub Maybe because it should have been a comment instead, and everyone here should have voted to close the question for the typo.

    @Bergi I know, I just commented on the question about that. Was thinking exactly the same
