I am a newbie so I have no idea what to do :p

I deleted windows when installing Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS from a usb and I clicked on format Hard drive and install ubuntu (or something like that). And everytime I boot up my system it shows the grub menu and there are a few options: Try ubuntu without installing, Install ubuntu, OEM install (I think)

Anyways I choose try ubuntu without installing and all my data is gone everytime. Is there any way to fix it and make my data there evertime I boot.

Sorry if I didn't make sense I can provide screen shots if needed.

  • So what about to remove the USB ? so your system can actually boot into your fresh install?

With some help I fixed it

Go to your bios and change your USB to Number 1 on boot priority

Then go into the grub menu and remove your usb.

Click try Ubuntu without installing

:)) I will ask you to use your HDD to boot
