Today I was installing Ubuntu on a partition of my Dell Inspiron 3520. For some reason the computer just shut down and when it turned on i was unable to boot as it seemed that the pc couldnt detect the hard disk. After some time I managed to get to the PC through the Ubuntu USB installation drive just to find that the damned installed formatted the drive to instal Ubuntu and didnt even finished installing the OS correctly. My main problem is that I never did a back up to the pc and it seems that Linux decided to erase the whole drive.
I had Windows 8, and 8.1 preview version in a separate partition.
My question here is; Is Windows lost? Can I save it? Is there a way I can get windows back without having to spend an awful lot of money?
Please I need help urgently....
