I assume you mean the grub loader doesn't display win8
try this
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo sed 's/trusty/saucy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (boot-repair &)then run the boot-repair tool and follow along EXACTLY what it says

i think thats right mate, i have no win8 option in bios or within my lixux start up options, (im assuming this is the grub you mentioned
sorry for the lack of knowledge fyi i am an ex console addict only transferred to pc's as of last year.
i followed all the above right down to the letter, it sorted one problem with a missing pointer but i still have no access to win8 or any boot option allowing me to search for my win8 duel boot, this is all on my laptop so im prepared to leave it solely as Linux but the frustration now its the fact that i have been beaten by a damn computer and i have no idea where to turn from here on in.

just to make sure, you know you have win8 still on t he disk right? best way to check that is to open gparted and see if the win partition is still there, if it is, then you can try run a boot recovery tool like the "boot repair disk" distro which can be found HERE
boot it up and select the big recommended button on top, if that does not work, well, Huston, then we got a problem:epic:
EDIT:read again the earlier post about installing boot repair as i said, but it may work better if you do it from the boot repair guess OS itself, is worth a shot anyway....

ok, let us know how it goes, it shall usually fix most boot problems but if it don't then im not really what else may fix it, a least not without hands-on, not that it matters that much anyway, it's win8, you will be better without it anyway:epic::troll:
RE: Recommended kali tutoral - (syntax) - 07-06-2014

that's okay, going trough a bunch of stuff at once can be tiring, also, many of kali's tool can be easily installed via the terminal so you should have little problem there,
some programs however are semi-manually(you must find and download the program but you usually just need to run it to install it via the package installer) while some few most be installed manually by finding the script, saving it to the right location and installing it via the /sh command in terminal...
kali linux have MANY tools(over 300) and i guarantee you that you will not have use for many of it(a least not for now) so the best thing for now is to ask yourself "what field do i want to focus on learning first and what do i need to do so"...
am sure if you ask around here on forum and tell what field you are interested in learning and what tool they think you should start with then am sure someone would be happy to answer...
i also got a kali linux quick guide in pdf format that goes quickly trough many of the common tool kali have that may help you along the way deciding what tools to get, since it's a file you need to PM me and i will send it to you:Grin:

Pretty much this!
My advice to you is install the repositories and get the tools as and when you need them, that way you avoid bloating your system.
Secondly and most importantly you should research how these tools work (it will involve learning about networking and programming but trust me you will be far better off for it)
As mentioned above ask if you need help, but we appreciate self study here, so you should always research the problem yourself first so then when you ask for help here you can be as detailed as possible and get the best possible answer quickly. (and more importantly learn more in the process)
