Unexpected return from initial read: Volume Corrupt (Windows Driver Update)

The solution worked for me is to install ubuntu trial version and use Boot-Repair out of the box.

To do so:

• Prepare an Ubuntu USB key
• Boot on this usb, go through the first steps of the Ubuntu's wizard, then select the "try mode"
• Open a terminal and run those commands to setup Boot-Repair:
• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair

Extend Ubuntu Storage from Unallocated Space

• First Create a Bootable USB stick with any Ubuntu OS.
• Then Boot from that stick. In this way, you can unmount the other disks and OS. It won't work when the disks are mounted. So, you can't use Gparted when you are already in a running Ubuntu.
• Use Gparted to Extend the partition of the desired volume. Install Gparted this way: sudo apt install gparted.

Access Boot Menu

Press 4-5 times F2 / F8 / F10 / F12 / ESC keys in the keyboard during OS booting or just after the start (F2 (my erazor), Del (my msi full boot menu access), F11 (my erazor quick boot access)). This option is different for different PCs.

If wifi drivers are not installed during 1st boot up, it's likely that graphics and wifi drivers are not installed when you start your pc for the 1st time. First attach your pc with internet through ethernet cable in order to access internet during package installation. Do the following:

sudo apt install net-tools

It will show something like this:
