I'm running into great trouble with an HP ENVY Sleekbook 4 with an existing Windows 8 installation failing to boot after installing Ubuntu 14.04, and data in the EFI partition is broken (the directory /EFI/HP
was renamed while trying to fix the issue). Whenever the computer starts up, it shows Windows 8's blue screen that says \BCD
is missing. Normally, F9 and F10 keys are used for entering boot device menu and BIOS setup respectively, but now they take me to the same blue screen! Why? How can I enter BIOS setup or boot device menu again?
