I have (or had) a 160 GB hard drive configured as dual boot with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. On the first 12 GB, I had a windows recovery partition, the next 100 GB for Windows 7 and the last 48 GB with a Ubuntu 10.04 (+ Swap).
I don't exactly know how what my sister done but I was not any more able to boot Windows 7.
I decided to rescue the Win7 partition with testdisk. I then accidently destroyed the file system on Ubuntu and tesdisk now display the Ubuntu partition as an NTFS file system. A simple Analyze with testdisk looks like
