Thanks a lot for your help.
You're right, I found that the EFI partition is corrupt.
I can't access this partition with the Windows disk tool. I tried to use
a SystemRescueCD : I see quite strange file names in the ubuntu
directory with the file manager. I tried to repair the partition with
dosfsck, and it seemed to work at the beginning. But it stopped with a
segmentation fault message, and, using the file manager again, nothing
seems to have been changed.
Do you have any idea for fixing the problem, and do you have any idea on
how such a problem can occur on a brand new laptop (bought on january
29th) ?
Many thanks again.
