Make a live bootable GNU/Linux system and run on your pc. Install "TestDisk" Package. Then Restore old partition table with test disk. For more info visit this link. here

I had the same problem when I installed Ubuntu on a 50 GB of unallocated space on a laptop already containing Windows 8.1. I lost all my partition and a single partition was created by Ubuntu.

Testdisk is a great tool to help you work with the lost data and partitions. Believe me testdisk is really a great tool to help you recover your data.

For a complete walkthrough on the process to recover your all partitions and the data you can visit this page TestDisk - Step by Step
