Hello everyone, I recently deleted my ubuntu partition through windows, and then installed windows 8. Now whenever I restart my pc, it saysCode:no such partition
I just want my windows 8 back, is there any way i can fix this without a recovery disc (I downloaded windows 8 through their site) and still have my data? thank you!Code:grub rescue>
To repair it you will need bootable Windows 8 media (DVD, flash). After booting from it there should be repair option. You need to repair your startup.
While best to have a Windows 8 repairCD or Flash drive, you can restore a Windows work alike boot loader.

Restore basic windows boot loader - universe enabled if error on lilo not found
Simply open Synaptic and Settings > Repositories and tick the box against the Universe repo in the Ubuntu Software tab. Close that window and click on reload before installing lilo with Synaptic or command line.
sudo apt-get install lilo
sudo lilo -M /dev/sda mbr
May show error messages about the rest of lilo missing, ignore, we just want MBR with bootloader.
