I have an SSD and a Storage drive, with windows 7 installed on the SSD. I installed Linux/Ubuntu for the first time and in the process my storage drive basically disappeared. it no longer shows up as a drive when I click ''computer'' in windows nor does it show up in Ubuntu (though I'm extremely new to the os obviously). in disk management it shows up as unallocated space aside from 2 partitions that were made to store Linux on.

I'm kind of panicking right now and I just want to know if there's a way I can reverse this and if not is there a way I can recover the data that was on the drive.

I did actually try it right away but the drive is no longer partitioned and recuva wasn't able to recognize it as a drive. I've used a couple other tools designed to recover the partition of a drive with no luck.

basically what I need to do is find a way to recover files from unallocated space or find a way to restore the partition.

You can try Partition Find and Mount or Partition Wizard MiniTool to recover lost partitions in order to possibly recovery your data.
