am totally new to linux, recently i have installed ubuntu 14.04 on my windows 7 professional desktop, on windows i had 3 partitions (except windows partition) while installation i had not selected any partition to install ubuntu 14.04, while in ubuntu installation i only selected replace windows option and not selected any partition selection options. after installation my desk top has only one hard disk with space of 160 gb. disk showing 5 swap partitions. So, i read and used testdisk to recover erased partitions while running testdisk some problems are facing, attached screen shot.

So, Kindly help me how to use testdisk to recover 3 partitions step by step, what are the requirements to use testdisk, and how to recover successfully without errors.

Thanks in advance,
