Here's the situation: ------------------------------------------------- My intentions were to reinstall/upgrade to 8.1 in order to restore all default ubuntu settings (ATI drivers & video playback in particular), but keep data across all partitions. Now, I'm afraid I've screwed up the main linux partition in the process.
Here's what went down: ------------------------------------------------ 1. Booted from 8.10 LTS Live CD 2. Chose "Manual" hard drive partitioning It displayed the following: (sizes are approx) /dev/sda1 ext2 53gb 17gb used unallocated 1gb /dev/sda2 linux-swap 2gb ? /dev/sda3 ntfs 60gb 52gb used /dev/sda4 ntfs 40gb 37gb used 3. Resized sda1 to 25GiB <--big mistake It did what I told it to do by unallocating space, I just assumed it would unallocate the 35 or so gigs of free space. Now, I can't boot cuz I'm getting a GRUB error 15: file not found. So, I have rebooted with the Live CD and ran partition manager. It displayed the following: (sizes are approx) /dev/sda1 ext2 23gb 375Mb used unallocated 32gb /dev/sda2 linux-swap 2gb ? /dev/sda3 ntfs 60gb 52gb used /dev/sda4 ntfs 40gb 37gb used I tried the "undo changes to partitions" option to no avail, and that's exactly what I need to do. Been surfin' forums all day. Any help is appreciated. Thanks ps. the ubuntu forums are down!
