Hi , It happends to me once but what i did is boot that harddisk with ubuntu live cd and uses gparted there which shows me that half of my partition is unused and i repartition it with gparted and rectify the problem. I don't know whether it helps u or not but give it a try. thanks , Samrat -- Carry A Heart that Never Hates… Carry a Smile that Never Fades… Carry a Touch that never Hurts… Carry a Friendship that Never Fails.
