Yesterday I had two NTFS partitions on my drive. One on which Windows 7 was installed (C Drive) and the other contained my data (D Drive).

During Ubuntu installation I choose to install Ubuntu and erase my existing OS. When Ubuntu installed, I was shocked to see no partition. All my data was gone. I must have done something wrong in selecting my option during installation.

Is there any way I can recover my D Drive?

I saw questions like that 2 times today: Yes. You have lost them.

If you are good at linux:

  1. DO NOT USE UBUNTU YOU JUST INSTALLED! (Tmp files WILL overwrite you data)
  2. Make a Knoppix live CD/USB/DVD/whatever and boot from it.
  3. Mount all you disks (If it didnt do it automaticaly)
  4. Open up console and launch "testdisk". (You will find it easy to use)
  5. Recover everything you can/want to USB or Portable HD but not to newly installed Ubuntu

But if you aren't good with Linux enough (as i see) then you better bring it to service that will do this for you.
