hi,
I have gone experimental yesterday and installed ubuntu along side windows.But later realised that a bad idea and deleted the linux partition.Now I can be able boot into windows and everything is fine except my personal files partition d: drive just went missing from explorer......:-( but I can see 500 gb of free space in the disk management window....I have got 2 questions 1) are all my files are deleted?
2) how can I recover the partitions?


my hard disk is samsung ata 1tb ....it has 3 partitions c: f: and 100 of os space and 500 gb of free space( it cannot be allocated to any partition)

Did you really delete the partition and recreate the partition? Created it the same size, smaller, larger? Is and was F just adjacent to C?

i uninstalled ubuntu from the F drive

ubuntu doesn't have an uninstall option at all!! Please explain what you did

I just booted with windows system repair
and launched command prompt

Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows and did as stated and later deleted ubuntu partition through disk management

So you deleted linux partition. But F is still in disk management!! How is that possible?!

So you did a win7 startup repair. After that you ran disk management and ALL partitions were still there(?)
Then you deleted the linux partition which was somewhere in in 546GB free space area(?)

That's all you did?

so u saying I deleted d drive data ;(

Maybe... maybe not. What is on F now? It is an ntfs partition not a linux partition. You either changed the drive letter, so maybe it is what was called D previously.

Once again... did you manually recreate that F partition after deleteing the linux partition?

Did you perform a Partition Wizard "partition recovery" as asked before??

can I try this again Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

after this command cd boot it says "the directory dnt exsists" so now I am very much f***ed up right?
