hi, i am runing 3 OS,ubuntu 8.10 arch linux and XP, i made a reinstall of windows and i formated the windows partitions and other 1 Gb partition i deleted it from windows installer to prevent Windows to install its boot files there(windows saw that partition as C).
I have 2 problems
1 the partition numbers changed and in Arch menu.lst i had to made some modifications, but i get an error when trying to make Arch grub default.
2THE BIG problem is that gparted or other partition manager (i tried the kubuntu live cd installer) sees my hard disk as a huge unformated partition so i can't reinstall or use gparted to format that partition that i deleted with windows XP installer.
Any sugestions?
In present i did not lost any data and i can boot ubuntu and XP.
omitting empty partition (5)
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xb96cb96c
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2805 22531131 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2 2806 4717 15358140 83 Linux

/dev/sda4 6124 19457 107105323+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda5 * 4849 6123 10241024 83 Linux
the missing partition is in 4717-4849 range
FIXED it using the opensource program testdisk and formating the deleted partition as swap , the nuber f partitions chAanged so i had to edit menu.lst in grub
