Raghu, It is not easy to recover your lost Windows partitions, you can nevertheless try some NTFS/FAT32 partition recovery software You should always backup important data when you try such things
Coming to resizing your Linux partitions, you can try using parted or its GUI gparted/qtparted from the installation CD It should be as simple as it is mentioned here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm I would suggest creating separate partitions for root(/) and home(/home) partitions Come back if you need more help -- Satish Vellanki On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 6:24 AM, raghavendra chary <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Saifi, > > I have installed ubuntu desktop edition on my PC but in this process I have > lost the data . > While installing it asked for the drive location and prompted for the > default install and that erased > all my data in the hard drive.
