When the data loss problem occurred:
My Lenovo laptop has both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. There are two ntfs partitions shared between the two OSes: one for Windows 7 installation ,and the other for personal data files.
Earlier today, when I was in Windows 7, I restarted the computer into Ubuntu.

I'm getting some file loss and corruption on my Win7/Ubuntu 12.04 dual boot setup. I have a large shared NTFS partition. I have my Windows Docs/Music/etc. directories on that file and have the comparable directors in Linux setup as a sym. link. I'm using ntfs-3g on the linux side of things to manage the ntfs partition.
I just bought a new laptop that comes with Windows 7 preinstalled and I want to install Ubuntu alongside with it.
The system came with 5 partitions:
System partition
Unknown partition
NTFS partition (the one with windows)
NTFS partition (to be used for data)
A recovery partition
I had removed the NTFS data partition and shrinked the windows partition to make room for Ubuntu as it will be my m
I set the home directoy for one of my users to be on an NTFS partiton so that it is accessible from Windows. I'm the only one who uses the computer so I set fuse to allow 777 permissions to that partition.
I have two HDDs>> hd0 is internal , hd1 is external.
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 in the external hdd as follows:
"\home" ext3-partition in (hd1,2)
"\root" ext3-partition in (hd1,3)
"swap" partition in (hd1,4)
During installation, I changed the bootloader setting.
I've installed Fedora 18 Spherical Cow with the new installer and I created 3 partitions from free space on the hard drive (/, /boot and swap).
After I completed the installation, I figured out that there is 8G still free and I want to use it for a /home partition.
Is that possible now?
I have installed and working Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.
I discovered that I do not need all this space that I have assigned to my D:/ drive in Windows and now would like to include it as a partition in Ubuntu.
A friend told me that if I have first installed Windows and then Ubuntu, then the order of the disks does not favor such a move and that I must just format it and auto-mount it in Ubuntu.
I want to know is there any possible (and simple) way to delete my Windows partitions and extend my Ubuntu partitions.
I have 1 HDD 700 GB:
sda1 primary 100MB NTFS (Windows boot partition)
sda2 primary 100GB NTFS (Windows 7 OS)
sda3 primary 500GB NTFS (Windows data files)
sda4 extended partition 98GB:
sda6 ext4 94GB (Ubuntu 12.04)
sda5 swap 4GB
My actual boot partition is sda1
I want do dele
