Topic: took USB duroing resizing out... :(

Hello.

I have a similar situation to this:
gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=17809

I have to add, I'm quite new to Linux.

After applying gparted partitions looks so:

History:
1. sda5 partition run out of space (cannot remember was it 55 or 85 Gb)
2. with Gnome Disks utility I downsized the Windows partition sda1/sda2 (to the left of sda5)
3. realized I cannot proceed with sda5, and read the internet: for resizing the mounted partition I have to boot with Live CD
4. booted into Live CD, run gparted and resized sda5
5. then I was not aware, that for the copying the USB is needed, so during the resizing I took the USB-stick with Live CD out...
6. got errors on screen, nothing was updating, so I restarted the PC

Tried to boot, but without result. Booted again with Live CD to repair the boot with Boot Repair utility. But then saw, that used disk in sda5 = 34 Gb.

Question:
Is it possible to restore not copied files during the resizing process? No writing to partition was made after it (I hope).


Thank you a lot in advance.

Re: took USB duroing resizing out... :(

Question:

1. When you removed the GParted Live USB stick did GParted application stop and report errors almost immediately, or did it continue for a while?

2. Approximately how far along was the progress bar when it reported errors?

3. When you booted back into Linux (Ubuntu?) did it report any file system errors?

4. Are there any files missing?


Run these commands:

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
sudo blkid /dev/sda*
