Thread: dual boot HP 'Recovery' partition caused Grub error no such partition

-

i've had dual boot windows 7 , ubuntu 11.10 on hp g62.
fine until accidentally last option in dual boot menu on startup, think might have been 'recovery' partition (i think deleted hp system tools partition install ubuntu originally).

on startup grub error no such partition. think booting 'recovery' partition wiped master boot record. i'm worried i've lost ubuntu installation (don't care windows one). when boot live cd can see windows partition in file manager not ubuntu files. in gparted have disk shown unallocated, fear might ubuntu partition.

i'm newbie this, if there way can ubuntu installation grateful advice, thanks.

following fdisk:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l
code:
  disk /dev/sda: 500.1 gb, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes i/o size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes disk identifier: 0xce9043ed     device boot      start         end      blocks   id  system /dev/sda1            2048      409599      203776    7  hpfs/ntfs/exfat /dev/sda2          409600   500402175   249996288    7  hpfs/ntfs/exfat /dev/sda3   *   500404222   940722175   220158977    5  extended /dev/sda4       940722176   976560127    17918976    7  hpfs/ntfs/exfat /dev/sda5       932868096   940722175     3927040   82  linux swap / solaris  disk /dev/sdb: 3997 mb, 3997171712 bytes 17 heads, 17 sectors/track, 27013 cylinders, total 7806976 sectors units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes i/o size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes disk identifier: 0x0001bdcd     device boot      start         end      blocks   id  system /dev/sdb1   *        8064     7806975     3899456    c  w95 fat32 (lba)
