fdisk was warning me that my cylinders no.s in harddisk is
more than 1024
,hence some partition tools may have problem with reading
the partition
table. gparted too shows the entire hard disk as a single
partition.
I have 100 GB of important data in my hard disk and suggest
me a way to
install back my ubuntu darling without loosing any of them.
I once came across similar problem where 320 GB was at stake, I installed
Testdisk and it restored the partition table and thus saved my data.
Install Ubuntu on available space without touching the partition where rest
of the data lies, then install testdisk and follow simple instructions...
You may give it a try.
