      The installation of the Windows 8 is done properly by deleting only C partition only but unfortunately the D drive got RAW.

        He also said that the friend, not Lakshmana, did the upgrade. So who is responsible for backups if not the owner nor the person doing the install?

        How does @Lakshmana they know that install was done correctly then?

        The fact that the one drive is now RAW tells us that that can't possibly be true. And I'm sure he's just repeating what he was told by the person who did the upgrade.

          That doesn't tell us in any way if it was done properly. It also explains why it is seen as raw, it's mount was deleted.

            The installation of Windows 8 is done properly without deleting other drives(D and E).

            How do you know this? The only way to know this to have done the install yourself, or have watched the install being done.

            Get a Linux Boot CD, boot from the CD and backup the data right away.

              @Lakshmana maybe a picture of disk management would help 🙂

                It's already been recommended but I would definitely boot to a live Linux installation.

                    Also, for next time. If you have a hard drive you don't want touched, simply disconnect the SATA connector before installing Windows. 🙂
