I partitioned my Vista drive and installed 16.04 on second partition and it was working fine. The small boot window at startup listed Vista to boot first and I wanted it to boot Ubuntu first. At some point I had a window offering me, what I thought was an option to boot Ubuntu first and I used the option and afterward I had no option to boot to Vista. I have tried a new grub menu tool and boot repair but they did not work. I am not at all familiar with how to use them. The "Disks" utility" shows just one partition. Is there any way to rescue the Vista? I have some important info on it
Thanks for the reply. fdisk info:

Also, my question is not the same as How do I recover my accidentally lost Windows partitions after installing Ubuntu?, because I partitioned my drive and installations were fine. My mistake was trying to change the boot order.
