Recover windows partition after uninstallling linux

[Chinmoy]

Well it is a sure phenomenon, if at any point of time you have installed linux on your system, the bootloader is changed to GRUB, LILO and likewise..

But the real problem arises, when we mess up with the installation and want to reinstall. Most of us do this by formatting the ubuntu partition from windows. But in this course, we also lose the boot directory which contains the boot files and the bootloader.
You will require the live CD(from which you installed linux or any linux live CD) for this to work.
Insert the live CD and boot from it.
After complete bootup, open the default terminal.
Type in “sudo grub”, this will take you to a grub editing menu.
Now at grub prompt, type in “root (hd0,n)” [ This sets the partition(n) on your first hard disk(hd0) as the install location. Replace n with a partition number.] Press return.
To see all partitions on you system and their information, type in geometry(hd0).
Next type in “setup (hd0)” [ This installs the bootloader on selected location at hd0. ] Press return.
Type in “exit” to exit from grub editor.
Reboot.

It is a tutorial to install a boot loader. Not actually recover a lost (as in deleted) partition.
