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!
There are forensic recovery tools available, I cannot speak to them as I have never used them. Maybe someone else on this list could point you in that direction. In the future you might want to boot a Linux LiveCD first and see how a new kernel see's your drives, just to make sure you select the correct devices. If your installing from a Live Environment then then bonus, because you can taste the partitions and install all from the same environment.
