A best practice is to use CloneZilla to backup the image of the Windows partitions or the entire disk first, and then install any other operating system. I too had the same problem where my entire hard disk partition was wiped out. I had Windows 8.1 on the computer. Subsequently, I restored the original Windows 8 image backed up using Clonezilla. Agreed, I did go back to Windows 8 as dual install with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS was not working, but that is fine. I attributed it to a problem with Windows 8.1 as with Windows 8, installation of Ubuntu 14.04 alongside worked very well.
