Topic: failed to fork (cannot allocate memory)
My brother's computer won't boot. He resized a partition using Partition Magic (an NTFS partition), so I thought of using Gparted to find out what went wrong.
He has two partitions (both on NTFS), and both are signed with an exclamation mark in front. When I click for 'information', I get the information:
failed to fork (cannot allocate memory)
And:
Could not read file system.
He's running on a system with 312 MB of RAM, so I don't think that a memory shortage is a problem.
Do you guys have any idea what went wrong and/or how to fix it?
Unfortunately, it's imperative that the problem does get solved as the hard disk still contains important data he needs.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/ideas
