I know questions like this have been asked before, but this is a bit different. I told it to install Ubuntu on the Partition that had Windows on it. After that, I couldn't start windows anymore. Can anyone help me?

Indeed your question is different. If you really installed Ubuntu over your Windows partition then your Windows has been overwritten and is deleted.
In case you had non-backuped data on this partition you may be able to restore them (at least partly) with data recovery tools.

2If there is data you want off the former Windows install, STOP USING THE COMPUTER NOW and find another one (at a friends or a library, etc.) The more you use the computer, the more chance of overwriting stuff. Feb 18, 2011 at 15:47

If I remember right, this was the problem. Again, if I remember right, I did do a scan and rescue, but it didn't have any of the folder structure what-so-ever, and I don't think I will ever use any of the data (thankfully it was one of those cases). Jun 16, 2012 at 17:31
