Topic: boot problems after elarging C: drive on dual boot system
I followed the steps in this recent post: http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=17505 and changed the size of some of the partitions on my first hard drive, including the first one (C:) which is where Windows 7 is installed.
After I was done I got an error when trying to boot the Windows 7 partition:
"No such device 2AFA3AD308C8EEE setting partition type to 0 x 39" Then the partition would boot. So I used the Win 7 repair disk and from a command prompt I ran : Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
Then it wouldn't boot at all and I got the error "Error!" So I rebuilt the GRUB 2 menu and reinstalled GRUB to the MBR "grub-install /dev/sda" while running my Linux (Ubuntu) installation. That seemed to fix things except if I run gparted while I'm in Ubuntu I shows that the disk is one big un-partitioned space. If I run gparted from the Live-CD I made I can see the disk and its partitions OK but I get the error,
"Libparted error -- Can't have overlapping partitions" So what is the problem? Can I fix it, should I fix it?
