Yeah, I know I should have backed up my files before proceeding, I completely forgot. Well, the thing is that I had a dual-boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3 (through live USB). I chose that 11.04 would install over 10.10 on the installation wizard, where I have no important files. However, it overwrote Windows too, and its data, meaning that I can't find Windows as a grub entry and I can't find the corresponding NTFS partition. Is there some way to recover it? Thanks!
Here is the sudo fdisk -l
output.
