I have a Toshiba laptop w/ 1TB drive. It had Windows 10 and in order to make room for dual boot with Kubuntu, I shrunk the volume to free up 64GB unpartitioned space.
I booted from USB and chose the Install option for 19.04. I selected Guided with LVM, but when I saw what that option would do on the next screen, I chose Back. However, it appears the installer changed the whole disk to the point no OS is found on the hard drive. So far Windows recovery attempts via advanced options have failed, and DISKPART shows the whole drive as unknown.
Is there a way to restore the drive to pre-Kubuntu installer state? Note the fortunate thing is I had no personal data on the Windows side...I inherited this machine so was resetting it for my use, and prefer dual boot if possible.
When I boot into Kubuntu via USB using the "Try" option, I see in partition manager the partition as /dev/sda2, Type = lvm2 vp.
There is a /dev/sda1, NTFS, Recovery, 512 MiB, but it shows 0 B used...so I suspect Windows recovery wasn't completely set up on the machine before I got it.
