mising operating system!!!!


hi every body..
at first I apologize for my bad English.
some weeks age I bought a vaio VPCZ114GX with 192( three 64 Gig Hard) SSD hard and Windows 7 installing on it.
I decided to install ubuntu 9.4 on it, unusually , at partitioning stage the system could'nt detect my windows partition and only showed 60 GIG hard that was free.
without tending to it I finished installation, and when I reboot system "error 2" message was shown on screen .. that it was because of bad installing of grub.
I several times try to fix it with Live linux or grub CD and "reinstall grub" command but it did'nt any change.
when I disappointed with ubuntu I went to modify my windows 7 bootloader finally.
I inserted win7 DVD and went to repairing part and the list of OS was empty There.
trying "startup repair" did'nt affect & failed because of not finding my windows partiotion.
I began command prompt and ran some commands like bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot /rebuildbcd in it.
/fixmbr done successfully but /fixboot failed and /rebuildbcd failed too.
when I rebooted again I became shocked when I saw "missing operating system" message on screen.
no Live was'nt detect my windows or linux partition.
when I booted with CentOs Live it said that maybe can't read the 'partition table' or maybe hard is unpartitioned.
anybody can help me ?
I had some necessary data on my windows.
I think problem is because of SSD hard.. maybe ubuntu cannot work with it

Hello and Welcome to LinuxQuestions,

Please don't double post your problem/question. If you double post an issue then it will be very hard both for you and for us to follow up on it. Stick with your original thread for example and report this one for closure.

Kind regards,

Eric

okay i think im familiar with you problem. I have nvidia raid and 2xhdd on my system problem is grub and other software very frequently see 3 or 2 hard drives one is raid+real hdd and just 2 hdd. I can only guess but there is possibility that your 3 hdd is also in raid. To try to access your data you need to boot from live cd and install and run dmraid programm this will reveal "raided" partitions to linux system but probably incorrect installs damaged data so you need find and use some software to undelete/read your data.
If you can just drop old data and wish to install new grub have built-in command line that support mount and disk discovery. I had a little headache with ubuntu install on my raided disks but it ends to boot livecd install dmraid .. install from livecd to disk.. edit grub config to boot correctly and all fine.
