Hi guys, I think i am in a big trouble..
I had a 640GB hard drive partitioned as follow: |10GB (recovery) unused | 100GB windows 7| 450GB DATA | 40GB unused |
I was trying to install ubuntu in the last piece of hd, but in the instalation setup i selected whole disk wrongly. But right in the beggining of instalation I realize it and stop it, but it was late. My Windows dont boot anymore and I lost the other partitions. Ubuntu and windows instalation setup show only one partition when i'm trying to reinstall.
now i booting by ubuntu liveCD (usb stick) and i think i can recover all partitions, look the fdisk -l, called from live ubuntu:
searching on web, people say that it is possible to recover the partitions table with testdisk, i'm trying that, but i'm not sure it will help. i perform two deep-searches and the result was follows:
I choose one before, but didnk work... i dont remember the result.. will do asap and edit here..
result:
Do anyone know what to do in this situation?
thanks
best regards
Max

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

The harddisk (640 GB / 596 GiB) seems too small! (< 1078 GB / 1004 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...
The following partition can't be recovered:
