I wanted to install Ubuntu 14 alongside Windows 7 today (Windows was already installed).

In the install menu i choose the "something else option" and gave Ubuntu 200 gb + 8gb for swap like 56mb for /boot thingy and made a 10 gb partition to move files between windows and Ubuntu.

Those are the Partitions which Ubuntu detects

Partition Table

Since i installed Ubuntu, Windows does not show up when i boot my PC , it just goes to ubuntu instantly and does not give me an option to choose.

Is there a way to recover the windows installation or the files? There are so many files i lost now :(

Well from the picture you provided there is no NTFS partition. So you may have accidentally deleted the Windows partition. If so, your best bet is it to try some kind of recovery software.

TestDisk is a great utility for recovering lost and damaged partitions.

sudo apt-get install testdisk
