I created a usb key with ubuntu 12.10 booted and choose to install. After the question that setup found win8
i choose not to keep previous os and install ubuntu from scratch assuming that ubuntu would install at (previous) C: or D:. Now after the installation i noticed that i got modified partitions. Have i lost everything from E
Or can i browse somewhere to back my files up?
Thank you very much and sorry for the rush but i'm a bit worried about what happened and i can't find any info about this easily..
Do you mean that you wanted to wipe both windows systems even though you knew very little about using linux? That's pretty brave of you. I think most new linux users keep their windows 'just in case'.
Your stored stuff can be recovered if you're very careful and haven't messed with the partitions too much. Don't install anything else until that's done. Use live cd/usb to recover.
