bootable acronis disk director cause windows7 crash, any help!

Thread needs solution

        Hi, I use Acronis Disk Director to expand my C drive where windows located, to do that I have to move the space from drive F step by step to C. and then the disaster just coming!

        background: I am using dual system, windows and ubuntu, and using ubuntu's grub to boot the system.  because I can't use Acronis Disk Director in windows, so I build a bootable version using my USB flash drive, follow is how I operated.

        1)  Release the front space of F drive, and reallocate it to E drive, this steps works very well, and I reboot my computer, check whole drive and find nothing changed.

        2) just like step 1), release the front space of E drive and reallocate it to D drive, but this time, the disaster happend, after Acronis Disk Director commit the change, no warning and error appeared, but the grub is missing, and Acronis Disk Director detect the disk as a uninitialized block.

        3) I try the Acronis recovery expert and find drive C, E. and an Anonymous drive with some error(I guess is drive D according to the space location), and even the system drive get back, system still can't booted and I have some very important in drive E, So How can I get back thosedata.

        disk state screenshot is attached.

        Any help would be much appreciated!

There is always the chance of data loss when making partitioning changes. It's recommended to create an Entire Disk Image before making changes.

You could try booting to a Live Linux CD and seeing if you can access the data. If you can, copy any important data to a safe location before trying any repair procedures.
