Answer:
testdisk would be the program to use, you can install it from a live linux disc. you will attempt to recover the previous partitions, not just files. i have not used it before but it is a good tool. finding the right guide is something you may have to do, unless it doesnt require one... have a look at this video, watch it twice and read to understand: (if you have gpt partition table then choose that option). you may need to do a further deep scan. its an old video but thats the general idea. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step

Lubuntu is one of those more unusual Linux distros that do not offer to install alongside Windows but instead it takes over the whole hard drive. Have a look in your explorer to see if there is another partition that still contains your Windows data.

There's still hope though. Your windows is still there, just the partition of it is lost, you must click on the link to get your windows back -> http://www.ehow.com/way_5776362_ubuntu-data-recovery.html. If its deleted. Well... you must buy another copy of windows and attempt to get everything back. best wishes.
