Hi there to everyone!
To begin, I apologize for my English.
So, what happened to me:
I had Windows 7 installed, then i decide to install windows 8 and maintain windows 7, that's what i did. and for about 4 months that's how it was.
About 4 hours ago, i decided that i would delete the windows 7 partition because i dont use that OS anymore. So i did, i use Partition Wizard to do it, and to resize the Windows 8's partition (make it bigger). I used Partition Wizard because i couldn't delete Windows'7 partition with windows disk manager. The program did the job, and said that it needed to restart, i restarted, and "operating system not found" is the message.
I booted the windows 8 disk, to make the boot repair, and the message after the reboot was "missing operating system".
Then I installed Linux Ubuntu, to see if i have access to the windows partition, and, I have! I can access the partition and all of it's files!
So can i restore Windows 8? Can I Re-install it and maintain every single one of my files and configurations? Can i have Windows 8 exactly like it was before?
I would apreciate very much your help.
Thanks in advance
