Bug Description
From what I can see, the original boot loader was not UEFI, it was legacy(not sure what that means). There are 3 primary partitions for windows and all Ubuntu was installed on an extended partition. I think the boot loader is the first primary partition that is 100 mb, but it is ntfs, not fat32 like efi partitions should be. Boot-repair doesn't work either.
