I am new to ubuntu.
I was using windows 8.1 and wanted to install ubntu 14.04lts.To do this i had 4partitions C,D(Dbase),E(Study),F(Media),I and a free space of 26GB.By using universalusb installer,i made a bootable USB and restarted the system which booted into ubuntu installation media.I disable fast boot by power options.
I clicked on install ubuntu,and clicked "Something else" to install.
I had this 26 gb free space.I used 2048Mb for swap area and rest for "/"(not gave any memory for '/boot') and completed installation.Then i removeed the usb and restarted.It took me into ubuntu without any options to choose.There was also a black screen before booting into ubuntu.I thougth that installtion was not sucessful and reinstalled ubuntu by usb and clicking on "reinstall ubuntu".Till now i did not check my partitions.After reinstallation,a boot menu appeared with Ubuntu,Advancedoptons, no windows.
I checked the files and there are no hard disk partitions.
I tried boot repair and it gave me this url:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/11798860/
I tried using windows "bootsec /fixmbr" and no use.
Is there any way to get my windows back?
When run this sudo fdisk -l:

And when I run testdesk tools deepersearch with intel/pc partition I got this:
