I installed ubuntu as part of a dual boot system of mine yesterday and then the whole boot manager thing got fudged up. So i deleted ubuntu and booted from windows. Now, my 50GB partition on my 160GB drive which held my important stuff, is gone. Well not gone. Its still regoznied but was never before. Im sure if a chkdsk could run on it, it could fix things, but windows wont let one run either in windows or repair. I went into repair console and tried to access the drive and was able to BUT i can only see the main folders. I cant get into any of them. The drive is still somewhat accessable but im totally lost.
 
You're short on details. What exactly did you do during and after the Ubuntu installation process?
 
if you have xp go into drive management and see if it shows the partitioned space. you might only have to import it. xp might think it is dynamic
 
You might want to try some data recovery software. A thing to note is that ideally, your bad partition should be regarded as "read only" during the recovery process, until you're satisfied that the data has been successfully recovered -- i.e. recover that data onto another drive / partition.
