Question #76926 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76926
Tom proposed the following answer: Hmmm, i can't count in cylinders lol. A 40Gb drive should have plenty of room for both but something does appear to be a bit odd. You say you're booting into Ubuntu fine and that Ubuntu seems to be working fine? If you are working from a LiveCd session then i've been completely wrong about trying to access "menu.lst", instead try cd /dev/sda5/boot/grub gedit menu.lst If you can get back to a LiveCd sesion anyway then go up to the top taskbar and click on System - Administration - Partition Editor this should give a graphical view of how your partitions are laid out so you should see that sda3 is at the end of the drive there :) Does the ubuntu partition, sda5, have 10Gb or more? Ubuntu really needs 10Gb or over but Xubuntu or plenty of other distros could fit into much less space. Please let us know how much space is in sda5 and then i can suggest a better distro to install for the moment, just to get back into Windows. Note that we don't need to delete any partitions to sort this out & fix both windows and ubuntu on this machine :) Good luck and regards from Tom :) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
