Hello,

Moving from FC17 to FC18 I decided to free some space (taken from swap and the root partition).

I tried Testdisk , but it shows entire partitions created from the beginning Usages .

This sdb is my secondary drive with Xubuntu and Kubuntu on it.

I have dual boot with Window 7 And Ubuntu 11.10.

error: unknown filesystem grub rescue >

The thing is when i let Ubuntu do partitioning for me it solves the problem, But i always do my own partitioning and it w

I had only ubuntu installed on my pc, but I felt like adding another ubuntu (same version) partition so I could have one just for work/study and another one just for personal generic use.

I currently have Windows XP installed on my system. I wish to install Ubuntu as the second OS. I want that at startup I am prompted to select the OS I wish to boot my system with. However, I am facing problems while creating the new partitions.
