How to recover if all the partitions in the system marked "deleted".

I first came across this problem when I was trying to install the Ubuntu 14.04 alongside windows 8...I installed it in legacy firmware while the windows was in UEFI  firmware this caused the problem and started showing all partition as deleted and I was not able to boot into the any system... now moving on to the solution .....

Before proceeding further ..First try to repair it using official windows 10/8 live cd/thumbdrive. Try the below link for reference if you are doing it for the first time...
How to repair/reset windows?

If the repairing windows doesn't solves the issue. And windows still doesn't boot up try the method 1.

Method 1:
1. make a windows bootable thumbdrive or use your recovery CD and follow this instructions. If you don't know how to make a bootable ... Follow this tutorial given below ..

2. Now that your bootable thumbdrive is ready. Insert it and boot from it.
If it doesn't boot up from pendrive try changing the preference in the bios settings and move the priority  "boot from external drive" to the top. Now again try to boot.

3. After booting the windows live cd select the "repair"option and then go to "advanced" and open the command prompt. 

4. Bootrec.exe is the tool we are going to use in the command prompt... Type the following commands in sequence ...

-bootrec /RebuildBcd
-bootrec /fixMbr
-bootrec /fixboot

5. And if the above commands doesn't help you to solve your issue try running this command ...

-bootsect /nt60 all 


It is a best practice to create a backup of your MBR( master boot record) and the operating system installed on to the system just to use it to recover in the situations like this.

There are other methods to fix the boot/partitions. For ex. "using Hirenbootrecovery  Cd how to recover deleted partitions "I will be updating soon...
