How to recover my Lenovo B570e Laptop?

Accidentally wiped my laptop (including recovery partition) whilst installing Ubuntu and now cant get intel hd 3000 drivers from intel or lenovo websites to install correctly. I have intel core i3-2328m cpu @2.2ghz 2.2ghz. Every time I install drivers, after restart, it says windows starting then it crashes. I get a message saying windows could not start, then it goes into startup repair which restores to before i installed the driver. I also used windows update which shows an update

Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2 - Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000

Download size: 59.2 MB

You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.

Update type: Recommended

Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2 software update released in January, 2014

Which also made it crash. There is a 4gb partition which may have my recovery media on it but i cant access it as its hidden.

Do I need to buy recovery media from lenovo. Just need drivers that work.

Heres where I got my lenovo driver
