Problems Installing rEFInd Through Windows After Ubuntu Install

I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows and I can't figure out how to boot into Ubuntu. So now I'm trying to install rEFInd. Fallowing the instructions here I ran into a problem running the xcopy /E refind S:\EFI\refind\ command. I get this error, "Invalid drive specification 0 File(s) copied"

It sounds like the ESP wasn't mounted at S:. Did you get any errors with the mountvol command earlier in the procedure? If so, you should correct those errors.

As an alternative, consider downloading the USB flash drive or CD-R version of rEFInd and booting with it. If you can get into Ubuntu in that way, you can install the Debian package or PPA, which should set things up automatically.
