I was trying to make a partition on my 1TB drive for installing Ubuntu 14.04. I had to remove an older partition in order to do it from my old Elementary OS distro. As I was restarting my computer and wiping the old partition I accidentally erased the Windows bootloader. As result my Windows can't boot. My problem with this is the partition I intend to install Ubuntu on. I'm using EaseUS to "cut" 50GB for Ubuntu. When I restarted my computer in order to apply the settings the error with the bootloader occurred and I don't know if the partition is actually ready to install Ubuntu.

enter image description here

(I’m working from "Try Ubuntu" right now.)

As you can see I have 3 drives.
⠀One 80GB for the Windows 8
⠀The master storage which the partition is based
⠀and the Ubuntu partition on which I want to install Ubuntu.

Is it possible to see if the partition is safe?

First repair your windows boot loader and after that install Ubuntu.

To fix windows, boot from windows cd/usb. Go to Repair -> repair using Command prompt and enter the below commands.

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot

It will restore the system partition.

After that you may try to partition the drive from windows and then proceed to install Ubuntu on your created partition, or use Gparted from Ubuntu live cd/usb; for more details refer to How to use manual partitioning during installation?
