Did you resize the NTFS/FAT partition or did you destroy it?
If you resized it, then use fdisk or a live CD to remove and restore the windows partition.
Go to msn on seeing how to restore a master boot record.
If you did destroy did you make a copy of Windows before?
If you did use them to reinstall the system.

With the Live CD I installed Ubuntu in a partition with 40GB and I left my Vista partition with 180GB and the HP recovery partition with 30GB.

But what I want is to do not delete my information on Vista, because with HP Recovery, it left my computer as new, and delete everything I have saved.
