That's the proverbial sledge-hammer approach. A better way would have been to expand your file system to match the size of the disk. Depending on your configuration, you may have been able to do this on-line, or booted from the Ubuntu live CD - both methods should have resulted in no data loss. And as has frequently been requested previously, if you're running Mint Linux, please use the appropriate mailing list for that distribution. Paul
