I wanted to install Ubuntu and Win 8.1 in DualBoot. I used Wubi to install Ubuntu. After rebooting and not accessing Ubuntu I removed Wubi.
Now my Acer Aspire V2-772G does not restart.
Using bootrec.exe /fixmbr and /fixboot and /rebuidbcd do not fix the problem.
It starts the process to shutdown but it stays in a blackscreen and nothing happens anymore... so it ends up in a blackscreen of nothingness.
Thank you so far.
Regards j0chn
Edit:
It seems that the command on restart is active (e.g. I wanted to reboot into advanced boot options for debug mode, so I restartet the Laptop. But it did not shutdown so I pressed the power button and after booting it again the advanced booting options appeared), so my conclusion is, that it just don't shutdown properly.

Wubi does not work with Windows 8, so you should not be using it in the first place. If you don't want to risk a full install, try using a virtual machine instead. I recommend VirtualBox, personally.– dillmoCommented Dec 30, 2013 at 22:02

Hi, thanks for the hint. Problem is, that I need it on a real machine, because I want to access my nexus with ubuntu touch and a virtual machine does not recognize the phone...– j0chnCommented Dec 30, 2013 at 22:03

VirtualBox actually does have options for enabling interfacing with external hardware. Alternatively, you could just install Ubuntu from a LiveCD and choose Install Alongside Windows 8 when prompted.– dillmoCommented Dec 30, 2013 at 22:06

Hm I used VMPlayer and not VB. Maybe I will try this later. The "beside" option is unfortunately not available and I try to install Ubuntu with partitioning atm. But my problem is that windows 8.1d oes not shutdown my laptop properly :(– j0chnCommented Dec 30, 2013 at 22:30

To shut down Windows 8 properly, you need to open your Charms Bar, click the Settings Icon, then click the Power Icon, then shift-click the Restart option instead of clicking the Shut Down option. Wait a bit for a menu to pop up, and then you can select the shut down option to fully shut down your computer.– dillmoCommented Dec 31, 2013 at 0:30
