I was reinstalling Ubuntu 13.10 due to driver installation problem and I have chosen this option "Erase Ubuntu 13.10 and reinstall" (with text "Warning: This will delete all your Ubuntu 13.10 programs, documents, photos, music, and any other files" under it). It wiped everything including EFI, recovery and windows8 and created its own EFI (it was bigger than the previous), ubuntu ext4 and a swap at the end (I'm not sure if it deleted the EFI or just resized it). Unortunately, I don't have any backup of my windows installation. If it hadn't been for the swap I would have restored my recovery partition untouched. Now i will probably have to give my laptop to a service.
