I was running windows7 and installed Ubuntu 12.10 from flash drive i created a partition to put it in but during the installation process it didn't ask me to choose it now only ubuntu boots on start up. I don't mind staying on ubuntu I just want to know if i can recover the files that were on windows 7 somehow? thanks
I am very new to ubuntu. During ubuntu installtion, I choose an option that allow ubuntu (12.10) to replace my window 7 without knowing that it will formate and repartition my hard disk. Then, all my important files are gone.
Could you please tell me how can I get my files back? or if possible, Could i recover all partition back?
Your help will be appreciated.

New to ubuntu here and am trying to set up 12.04 alongside my windows7 install.
I got the iso onto a flash drive, managed to install everything just fine, but when I restart the computer after completing the installation, I have no boot options and windows loads automatically.
Hey,
I have acer 5745 series laptop. 4gb ram 500 gb hard disk. I have original windows 7 home premium 64 bit indstalled ALONG WITH A DUAL PARTITION OF UBUNTU 10.10.
The problem is i think my windows 7 crashed.. as it wldnt boot further than STARTING WINDOWS. So I went into my ubuntu os and and from ubuntu backed up all the Windows 7 data I needed..
I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and after installing when i restarted the laptop i kept getting blank screen. Then i tried to uninstall ubuntu by EasyBCD method and when i went into disk mgmt there was no partition created. Now when i start my laptop i get option to select windows and ubuntu and whn i click on ubuntu it says the .mbr file is not there.
I have a Windows 7 computer. This is what I did:
Using Windows Disk Management, shrunk the available hard drive producing a partition more than large enough for Ubuntu.
Changed the boot order in BIOS to CD, USB, HDD.
Inserted Ubunto 12.04 disk, launched Ubuntu.
Chose "Install alongside windows 7".
Successfully installed Ubuntu, restarted, and it goes straight to Ubuntu.
I followed the instructions from help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation to make a partition of my harddrive to install Ubuntu on Mac running latest everything. I do the partition sync from refit, start from the Ubuntu boot disk, open the install drive. Select country.
I installed Windows 8 and it created a 350MB partition and then the 550GB partition.
I have about 400GB left for Ubuntu.
But when i want to install using the wizard, I see a empty partition table.
I have disconnected all other drives, USB Sticks to make sure it was correct.
What do I do ?
If I install UEFI mode I screw up the previous installation every time.
