I have installed Ubuntu 13.10 today. I selected it to overwrite my windows 7 operating system. However, after booting up Ubuntu I saw that my partitions are gone and all the space is showing up us in one partition. Why is this happening? Have I done something wrong while choosing to overwrite windows 7? I understand that while overwriting windows 7 it will format my C: drive there, but why my other partitions are gone? Is there any way that I can get my data back?

Yes, unfortunately you wiped you pc. I hope you happen to have a recovery disk ( comes with computers original packaging ) to restore back to windows... For all your files back you need windows back... In Ubuntu you can get an assortment of you files back... Open "Ubuntu software" center and type testdisk... Install it. And then run that.., then do quick search on your computer not your flash drive ( If one is plugged in ) and then when that finishes press enter for deeper search... It will show a list of partitions... You select the one that looks appropriate an more will appear... Go over them and press P until see primary file ( recycling bin, download, along those lines ) press C on the partion, and then use the arrow key to make a P in front of it... Then continue the loading on testdisk and it will restore.. { same process or windows }!!! This is a few hour process, it takes a long time to find all partitions...
