My ntfs partition appear so many

Question

My Windows 8 is missing in grub after installing a new linux distro (elemetary os), I already have Ubuntu.

I booted into liveUSB and ran boot-repair and was Grub fixed, but when I boot into Ubuntu now I get kernel panics.
Output of fdisk -l:

Your partition table is badly damaged. Logical partitions are defined using a linked-list data structure, which means that each partition definition includes a pointer to the next one in the list. (The final one is obviously an exception; its pointer is a code to terminate the list.) Given that all your logical partitions (/dev/sda5 through /dev/sda60) are identical, my suspicion is that you've got one logical partition that's pointing to itself, thus creating an infinite loop of identical partitions. This is obviously not good, and any program that lacks an explicit way to deal with such an error will misbehave in one way or another. That includes the Linux kernel, and it's conceivable that this is the cause of your kernel panics.

It's possible that my FixParts program (part of the gdisk package in Ubuntu) will fix this problem, but I don't recall what, if anything, I did to handle such problems. My suspicion is that I just limited the number of partitions it could load, so it will stop after a while. It should then note the overlap and omit all but one from the table it writes out. OTOH, it's possible that FixParts will crash and burn. FixParts doesn't write anything to disk until you tell it to do so, though, so even if it crashes, it shouldn't make matters worse.

You may have one or more partitions lost after that one -- your disk is 488,397,168 sectors in size, but the final partition on the disk (not counting the extended partition, which is just a placeholder for logical partitions) ends at sector 39,395,296. If you're missing partitions, you'll need to use a tool like TestDisk to recover them. It's also possible that TestDisk could correct the problem with your infinite loop of partition definitions.

I already reinstall my ubuntu and the problem gone now. But one of my data partition lost. I testdisk it and now im stuck at grub rescue. I ran sudo fdisk -l only appear /dev/sda1 — user310861, Jul 31 '14 at 16:33
I just recently stumbled upon an issue like this. I used fixparts to turn a partition into logical, then attempted to install windows: I removed another partition from the windows 7 installer disk manager, and that immediately froze, probably following the newly created infinite cycle. It appears that blkid (and libblkid) just crashes with OOM when such a reference cycle appear. Funny thing is is that mount and systemd-udev seem to depend on libblkid, so... go figure (and my mbr backup was in a sane but now unmountable partition). It would be nice if fixparts could do something about this. — Lorenzo Pistone, Oct 09 '15 at 15:11
