Title:
Boot errors
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
After installing ubuntu14.04.1 onto a separate drive in my home built
tower which I already had windows 8.1 pro install on another drive.
Before the installation of ubuntu the windows 8.1 was working
properly.
This is not to say or imply that ubuntu is at fault in this process
but instead, my lack of complete understanding of what was involved in
the process. Subsequently, I've read lots of tutorials and
question/answers on Ubuntu One. The most important of which I read
only this morning at 3 AM. It said simply that you can't simply re-
install ubuntu on an drive one problems have been encountered. At this
point I'm using the drive that I originally installed the ubuntu onto
with ubuntu installed and running somewhat errantly. To the point.
At first I could still boot into windows 8.1, but there were problems
with booting ubuntu. The boot menu then began to display with the
windows bios boot option missing. However, I could still enter into
the bios and select windows from there by selecting its drive. After
trying to figure out what happened to the windows option then, I was
no longer able to choose windows from the bios boot. I was at least
able to boot into ubuntu with great difficulty. As it began to boot
there were lots of fails and quit items displayed on the screen.
Things have gone from bad to worse, as I attempted to fix the problem.
Of course, I assumed the windows was still there on the original
drive. I tried deleting the ubuntu OS and re-installing it and then
things really went to hell in a hand basket. I am now at the point
where, I've been able to re-install ubuntu, but can see the windows
8.1 on either of the other drives that I have installing in the tower.
I've used various of the linux sites to seek ways to recover from this
disaster, but have not achieve good results. The xorg information that
was sent from the latest boot is beyond my level of knowledge at this
point. I would appreciate it very much if someone could walk me
through the process of recovery. One of the errors messages "Found
GPt, add bios-boot partition." Another was "Comreset failed error-16."
These among many.
Please excuse, my lack of detail in this matter I've grasping for
straws believing that I could retrieve the system on my own. Given
enough time I ultimately could, but at this point I'm putting up the
"white flag."
