In case anyone still reads this: it is a bug in the wording of our installer. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/08/ubuntu-installer-bug-wipes-partitions – Rinzwind Aug 29 '14 at 10:10

You have chosen the replace Ubuntu with Windows 8, this formats the entire partition table of Windows and creates new partitions for Ubuntu which includes '\','\Home' and 'swap'. So reinstalling Windows 8 and running a recovery 'll not fix the problem.
