i have a corrupted partition

[iapelaezf69]

Hi everyone,

apparently I have a partition inside a partition, then my partition editor doesnt recognise either my ubuntu partition nor my fat32 and my ntfs partitions. Could use some help!

ivan@ivp:~$ sudo fdisk -lu

Frankly that defies logic!... er... well mine at least :-? You've got an Extended Partition which contains Logical Partitions but the scheme is all over the place and difficult to follow.

Can you post a screenshot of your Partition Editor's graphical output?
