data loss - Lost partition while installing Ubuntu

I am new to Ubuntu.



Earlier I was using window 7 and had 2 drives. A few minutes back I installed Ubuntu 13.10 on my laptop. While installing, I selected the "replace Windows 7" option, and now I can see only 1 drive. This is output of fdisk.




vishal@Ghost-PC:~$ sudo fdisk -lu

I think I lost my other drive. Please confirm how to recover that drive, because the drive is very important.
