I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit .iso from official Ubuntu site. While installing it from a bootable USB drive I selected to replace Windows 8. The installer removed all my partitions and replaced it with an Ubuntu one.

I then installed Windows 8 by making a separate partition out of the Ubuntu space. I did not get any option to boot Ubuntu.

Why can't I boot Ubuntu and how do I fix this? And is there any way to get back my files(a whole lot collection of Programmes, Movies, Games and Music?

You installed Ubuntu first and then windows operating system. So, Boot-loader of Ubuntu is no longer exist in mbr.

Now You have to recover Ubuntu boot-loader. To do that visit instruction given on Ubuntu help: Recover Ubuntu After Installing Windows
