Hi Friends,
Sorry my previous question wasn't that informative so adding more. I had windows partition and free partition for Linux installation. I got installed windows7 and it installed fine, When I tried installing Ubuntu, I remember selected default options.
I gave me default option as it clearly said "1. If you have another operating system (e.g. Windows XP) and you want a dual boot system, select the first option: "Install them side by side, choosing between them at each startup." I thought it would keep Windows as it is and I hit proceeded for installation.
first option: "Install them side by side, choosing between them at each startup."
refer URL http://news.softpedia.com/news/Installing-Ubuntu-9-10-126370.shtml step #4.
At the end I am disappointed that I cannot see Windows boot option (Dual boot) It just gives Ubuntu option.
I kept 50 GB free space for Ubuntu.
Is there any option to recover/switch to windows booting? Or I have lost Windows installation overwritten by Ubuntu?
I need your help onhow to recover the my previous installed Windows OS?
Thanks in advance
Warm regards
Krishna
