How to recover overwritten windows 8 with ubuntu linux
Give us some more info! Where was your windows 8, how did you formated your HDD for linux, where is your root partition, swap partition.. Can you mount your NTFS drive or you have owerwrite it.. – malakrsnaslava – 2015-03-11T08:57:10.233
Do you also want your Windows 8 data? If so, I hope you backed them up. If you just want a fresh windows 8 machine, google for <model> factory restore – Mawg says reinstate Monica – 2015-03-11T13:56:00.893
@karel: That question involves Win 7, this one Win 8. What is your opinion on whether that Q&A will cover the implications of restoring a UEFI system, if there are any? Thanks. – fixer1234 – 2015-03-12T06:17:39.473
@fixer1234 The second link is the good one. Unless you copy every answer from Ask Ubuntu Q&A to Superuser, you should expect some degradation in duplicating Ask Ubuntu questions at SU, although I have checked with a moderator and it is indeed on topic to do so. – karel – 2015-03-12T06:26:56.143
@karel: the second link is good but I was just told there are no cross-site duplicates. The first link is a duplicate question, but it has only one answer, which isn't really definitive. I'm not sure how useful it would be to send people there for an answer to this question. – fixer1234 – 2015-03-12T07:31:10.073
