dual boot - /home partition deleted after installing windows 10

I had the following partition organization



Disk 1 (HD 500GB)




100MB (Windows recovery partition) primary



100GB (Windows partitions) primary



Extended Partition:




  • 100GB ext4 linux partition (/home)


  • 300GB NTFS partition (data partition)





Disk 2 (SSD 32GB)



32GB ext4 linux parition (/)



GRUB is in the SSD, so after installing windows 10, GRUB was working fine. But then, when I tried to boot Ubuntu, it gave me a message saying it couldn't mount my /home partition.



Here's my fdisk -l output
