    System Restore

    Allot of Crazy things happened lately. A few problems happened and I fixed them. In the end I have 3 partitions of ubuntu net book remix and 1 for windows 7. I never reinstalled windows so could I do a system restore (in windows)to go back and then reinstall 1 partition of ubuntu net book remix.

    System restore is not available in Ubuntu unless you have pre-installed OS with recovery method.

    Lets check partition structure of your hard disk.
    Open Terminal and execute this
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
df -h
    Post the output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Windows Restore create check points for software changes only and it can't restore Partition Table state.

    I would suggest you to post output of sudo fdisk -l command here. There are a lot of tools available to restore partition table. Check testdisk tool.

    Have you reinstalled Ubuntu to try and fix the problem? if so then testdisk and other utilities will not help ... you have changed the partition structure and installed Ubuntu (rather than system crash or partition table corruption by some other mechanism).

    Output of fdisk and df commands devils casper requested will help us work out partition structure and how partitions are mounted.
