I did not manage to successfully restore my old partitions. It was way too complex for me.

Nevertheless, I managed to recover all my data. Dell gave me a replacement HDD and to top it up, I moved from Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bits.

Thank you for all the help.

I used sudo after I realised it after submitting.

Anyway, here are my outputs so far. I just want to restore my Windows 7. The linux partition can be lost as I intend to install a new version.

Hi,

I was trying to install Debian 7 over Debian 6 on my dual boot Dell laptop. It was using ext3 and NTFS.

I wanted to change the Linux partition to use LVM, and selected Guided LVM but in my hurry, I didn't read the words "Use whole disk ..." before pressing proceed. I only realised my mistake ...
