From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

windows doesn't show linux partitions correctly.
did you have it setup to ask you which operating system you wanted to boot and do you still see it?
I've figured out that after the Event 41 Task 63 I've must have clicked Enter at some point during the restart (I don't remember) and Leap got deleted. It's not about showing partitions correctly but it's really just gone. Eh Thanks for the answer anyway
Live boot Linux, install testdisk in there, and try to see if it can find it. It's probably still there.
It was always there indeed! Thank you!
You're welcome! I've had to do that exact process more than once, so I had a sneaking suspicion you weren't quite up shit's creek yet.
Event 41 Task 63? what's that?
but to repeat: windows dies not understand linux partitions to any extent. it shows them as "uninitialized space" or something like that, so that it looks like it's gone. It's always best to check the partitions with gparted on a live system (e.g. systemrescue linux)
