post the output of the following commands

mount

I think when I Install debian, marks sda1 as lvm and maybe the problem is not with ntfs. I start with live cd of hirens and doesn't watch ntfs partition

Based on what I see, I am going to take a stab in the dark here. It looks like you originally had an Ubuntu/Windows dual-boot setup, is this correct? Then you tried for a tripple-boot setup of Ubuntu/WIndows/Debian, correct?

Yes, all correct

I'm going to assume yes here for the sake of explination. If that is the case, then very likely, your Debain install used your windows partitions. the 'file-s' command we suggested to you (thanks to Arno for catching my typo) tastes every partition and prints the FS type as output, I do see an MSDOS partition, you can try mounting that somewhere to look at it, but there are no NTFS partitions listed, unless you installed Windows elsewhere on a different drive, it doesn't exist here ... Are you still able to boot into Ubuntu?

The windows partition is sda1. The FAT32 partition is a small partition in laptop to recovery system with original cds.
I can't boot into ubuntu :(
I think debian installation (may be my fingers.....) marks sda1 as LVM
Any program to recovery data?

Thanks!
