After installing Ubuntu 13.04 alongside Windows 8, I am no longer able to see Windows8 on Grub.
I tried switching to UEFI mode with secure boot on, but that shows a missing OS.
Is Windows 8 not present on my laptop?
Till last night, I was at least able to view the folders of Windows in Ubuntu. With the help of a friend of lab, I re-installed Ubuntu to ensure the display of Windows on the grub.
Windows8 is still not being displayed on the grub.
Moreover, since then I am not even able to view any other folder apart from the C drive.
And I have an additional problem now that Ubuntu is not recognising any pendrive. I tried all the ports and different pendrives.
This issue wasn't there before the re-installation.
I tried Boot-repair.
Here are the details:

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
From the file it seems that your WIndows is not being detected by os-prober.
Do tell if this works or we'll look for something else.
