I tried to install ubuntu to get dual OS but incidentally delete one of the windows' partition in the process...... I can't boot windows or even use the recuse tool to recovery it...
I've backed up my C drive on ubuntu and now I'm wondering if I can somehow recover that partition without having to reinstall as I don't have windows' installation CD/USB
From what I searched online it seems like what I am missing is either the recovery partition or the loader partition? (are there supposed to be 2 loader partitions?) However, I can't really find a solution that's suitable to my situation. right now all I have is a bootable ubuntu USB and I don't have a bootable windows media I'm using sony ultrabook, so there's no cd drive.
I'm just wondering if I know which partition I deleted and I can format the partition in the right form and copy the files there... will it fix my problem....?
I've attached screenshot of my current partition info
ntfsundelete /dev/sda1
and gotThe device /dev/sda1 doesn't exist
should I create a ntfs partition with all the free space on the disk? (I don't want to do anything before I'm sure it won't override the current data)
