I think people here need more info to be able to help you. Here is what I recommend. Boot from a live CD and get a root console. You might get a root console by typing 1. "sudo su" in a regular terminal (ubuntu derivative live CD) 2. pressing Control+Alt+F1 and then working your way from there (other live CDs?) Share the output of the following command with us. # fdisk -l /dev/sda This will tell us how the partitions really look.
