Remove partition or restore extended volume

[mujinfaye]

Hello Guys,

I have a bit of a problem here. I have a windows 10 machine, and I decided to dual boot with lubuntu. I have installed it succesfully, I can still boot on both os. The problem is my drives can't be accessed on both os (2nd and 3rd partition). I can see them graphically but I can't access them. Here's a picture. The files are extremely important.

You only have one drive with a bunch of partitions, including one without a drive letter assigned and one block of free space not even formatted. Seems like you did things to the drive without really knowing what the results would be. Your drive partitions are a mess. What exactly did you do when you ran the setup for dual boot and how did you have the original Windows setup? Was anything encrypted? Did you have all those partitions before you installed Linux?

You can try running Recuva and see if it picks up any files from the partitions with the issues, or use testdisk which is also made to restore partitions.

I'm trying out testdisk now. Runs really slow lol.
I'm gonna retrace my steps.

Any recovery softwares that are really good at recovering? I mean the file that it will recover will still function etc. etc.

Recuva, there are others but that is a good one to try first.
