I have Dell Vostro laptop with 2nd gen i5. The 500 gb hard drive is divided into 4 partitions (C: D: E: H: ). It was installed with windows 8.1 before everything went bad.
I was trying to make it dual boot with Windows 8 and Ubuntu on C: & E: respectively. Due to some errors and several attempts i am finally left with Ubuntu installed on C: with rest of 3 partitions showing in Ubuntu disk utility as single partition and that too of size 427 GB (C: is of 73 GB) which is not possible. In that single partition i am able to see only my D: data. E: is empty but H: data is missing and it is important data (no, i don't have backup).
Also windows setup has been unable to detect hard disk after i tried to install Ubuntu first time on E:
Is there any way to get my actual partition structure back so that i can get data on D: and H: back? (I think formatting whole drive will make my system ok but using formatting and recovery is the very last option).
Please help.
Thanks in Advance
