I was trying out ubuntu 14.04 and I chose the option of using a LVM encrytion, Now I cnat load windows or even access them from ubuntu, I have looked all over the internet for tutorials but none of them are delivering what I want, I just want to recover my precious files in windows 8(which were all in one partition C 4.95GB Drive). from what I get I need to decrypt that disk then try to recober grub, please assist, any links or directions to do thus will greatly be appreciated, Did I loose my data since when I boot from an ubuntu live disk that it have 459 GB free, yet my files were so many, I only had. 20GB free, im not sure because it said it would not encrypt files outside ubuntu

If you have any windows DVD ,boot it,then go to command prompt,then type commands bootrec /fixmbr this will reset your MBR,and you will able to boot from windows 8 :) your ubuntu partition will remain safe,later you can add a entry from EasyBCD boot menu tool :) If not working,then comment!

  • Yeah i did,but it was beyond the problem, the Ubuntu had encrypted my whole disk so decrypting it meant loosing all my data.. Thanksthough
