    Please Help

    I just installed 13,04 on a friends laptop, I as i had done on several of my own computers, inside of windows. Something went wrong and it installed Ubuntu and it appears to have deleted the windows section. I can not find anything related to windows on the computer. Is there any way to recover the windows partition? or is it lost and gone forever. Thank you all

    Are you sure you have deleted the windows partition? If you have I don't think there's much you can do. You can check if the partition is still there with the command

    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    see if you can find any NTFS partition

    From what I've read, Wubi (installing Ubuntu from inside of Windows) no longer works with 13.04. So, if you proceeded with this, you most likely OVERWROTE the Win7 installation.

    There are Windows apps that you can use, by downloading and burning various CD images, that might be able to restore the partitions. One such example is Minitool Partition Wizard.
    Ubuntu 20.04, Mint 19.10; MS Win10 Pro.
    Will not respond to PM requests for support -- use the forums.
