2What do you mean by "option to format just windows 8?" That could be very bad news. – Organic Marble Dec 31 '16 at 21:42

1It had option "replace windows 8 with Ubuntu..." – otaku Jan 01 '17 at 07:15

It appears that you wiped out your windows install by choosing that option. If you wanted to keep it you should have chosen the "alongside" option. – Organic Marble Jan 01 '17 at 10:28

Thank you. It seems I actually formatted my whole laptop – otaku Jan 01 '17 at 11:57

Your "d" drive will now be something like /dev/sda4 or so, depending on your partition layout. You can do "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt", where 4 can be changed to the partition number, to mount the partition on /mnt so you can see the contents with "ls /mnt". When done with that partition, or if that one is the wrong one, type "umount /dev/sda4" to unmount it.

The Day drive is probably erased, if it was not a physical drive but a partition. – user68186 Dec 31 '16 at 22:38
