While trying to set up a dual-boot for windows 7 and ubuntu on my laptop, I accidentally reformatted a 350gb partition of my hard drive to the swap type in ubuntu. Now on windows, I cannot access this part of the hard drive, which I need to do. The hard drive shows up in the device manager, but it only shows up the 100gb main partition. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have a windows disk? if not download a copy from the internet and burn it to a disk. There is a windows key on the underside of your laptop use that to re register after formating the disk
