Re: aftermath of an ubuntu installation

hi

i booted ubuntu with live cd and was not able to see my specific drive by
accessing the drives from places - computers

i then opened up partition editor and this is how it looks

/dev/hda1 fat32 20 GB(my windows xp main drive)
/dev/hda2 (lock symbol) external 8.55GB(my lost windows drive with data)
/dev/hda5 (lock symbol) linux swap 8.07 GB(no clue wat this is )
/dev/hda6(lock symbol) linux swap 494.16MB(i beleive this is the real linux
swap)
/dev/hda3 ext3 9.79GB(the space i gave for ubuntu)

i cant open the extended parition, nor can i access anything frmo within it..
my hard disk is just around 39 GB

hope i was able to provide you all with the best of information that i could
get

Boot with the live cd and see if you can mount the drive and see the
files. If you can, don't do anything just yet. Just report back the
results.



Added points - from the Live CD:

1. To see if the drive mounts: click on Places|Computer and then the
drive if it shows up.
2. If the drive shows up: find a .doc file and double-click it and see
if OpenOffice opens the file.
3. If the drive shows up: you will be able to see what type
(ext2/3/ntfs) from gparted - System|Administration|Partition Editor
little box to the right to select the correct drive. Note: again *don't*
do or change anything yet, just report back what you find for that
drive. Tell us what filesystem it shows. Even if it is not mounted, you
should still be able to see the drive and type - it just won't show a
Mountpoint.
