Hello bay 12, I have recently "upgraded" from windows 7 to ubuntu, but apparently I was not thinking that it would delete all my files. So are they gone forever or is it possible to recover them? thanks

Unless you still have a partition with Windows on it somewhere, then yes, all your files are gone.

It did tell you if you paid attention that it would reformat during the install.

Reading is for chumps.

if you read the instructions there are 3 options to install ubuntu on your computer
1. Repartition/format: dedicate disk space for the OS or take over the drive
2. Sidealong install: makes a virtual drive file within windows
3. Advance: i doubt you even touched that.

if you formatted your disk you basically removed the windows filesystem and you wont be seeing that no matter what you do.

Ok nevermind, I managed to figure it out. Thank you!
