i had 3 drives
W - window7 D - data L-- empty
i booted up my pc with a bootable usb - linux mint 15 cinnamon
tried to install it in the empty drive L
.
it gives 3 options to install ,,,, i clicked on one saying "SOMETHING DIFFERENT " ( or something like this )
during installation i formated my L to ext4 format...i clicked continue ..
.
the setup said that i have to choose a drive for SWAP MEMORY
I CHOSED MY D DRIVE ( ALL DATA - SOFTS, MOVIES,ALL STUFF ) FOR SWAP MEMORY
.
installation was successfully completed ....... BUT NOW WHEN I AM BOOTUP MY PC WIN7 START WITHOUT GIVING ANY OPTION TO BOOT MINT..
WIN EXPLORER IS NOT SHOWING DRIVE D and L.... I LOOKED MY RUNNING "MSCONFIG" IT SHOWS ONLY WIN7 AS OS
DISK MANAGER (IN WIN7) SHOWS D DRIVE TO BE 100% FREE...... BUT WHY IT SHOWS L DRIVE TO BE 100% FREE...
.
PLZ PLZ SUGGEST SOME WAY SO THAT I CAN GET MY DATA BACK (IF POSSIBLE IN - SAME QUALITY)
