So I'm a noob Ubuntu user & had the following happen.
I have Debian, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio & SteamOS all installed side by side on a spare 500gb hard drive that I had. I wanted to get rid of Debian & SteamOS so I deleted their partitions but the problem is that one of those partitions had the grub boot loader on it, so the next time I booted my pc I come to the grub error command line screen, which I had no idea how to use even after I looked up info. So I made a Ubuntu iso on a USB to run the try ubuntu just to use the terminal. I used boot-repair to put the grub back on the 500gbs & it was all working well when.......... I booted back to my SSD (I have Windows on a seperate hard drive, I just select the 500gb drive to boot from when I want Ubuntu's) low & behold my main 4tb storage drive is missing, I go to disk management & find that it's now an efi not ntfs, please someone tell me that I haven't just lost the 2tb's of irreplaceable data off of it & that I can change it back to ntfs with my data still on it?
Everytime I eff around in Ubuntu I think, gee I should really unplug every other hard drive that Ubuntu aren't installed on so that I don't eff anything up. I will throw my computer into a lake if that hard drive is erased.
