Hello there,
I tried to install kali alongside windows and did it wrong probably. Now whenever I boot, grub loader sees only Kali and Free-DOS and doesn't see Windows.
I can still see the Windows partition in Kali and access the files however.
Searched online for a solution and saw that boot-repair could help me, however because some new update issue I cannot install it under Kali directly( see below link, it doesnt work for me).
askubuntu.com/questions/449818/cant-find-boot-repair-package-for-the-newest-version-of-ubuntu]
Long story short, I downloaded the iso version of boot-repair and tried to burn it onto a live-usb, but it doesn't load. All I get is a black screen with a terminal line running where I can't do anything.
I burned the iso using the terminal and the command below.
sudo dd bs=4M if=file.iso of=/dev/sdc
I burned the iso using unetbootin a couple of times and the same issue.
Any ideas? am I doing something wrong? How can I burn the iso disk to a live USB to run boot-repair? Or any other alternatives?
PS: first time linux user, I have no idea what am I doing so please be patient with me.
This is my output for running sfdisk -l.

sfdisk -l
