[Ubuntu-eg] Help

[Samar Ali]

I tried to install Ubuntu and unfortunately things got worse, I chose the
super user option in the beginning then chose LVM and didn't know that all
the data will b erased.

now the machine doesn't have any operating system and when I click F12, it
gives some kind  of whistle, what shall I do?
