Hello,
I've re-installed Windows and now can't boot xubuntu 9.1. I've looked at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
I did the the fdisk -l and tried mounting each of the partitions but I couldn't mount sda4 which I think is the partition that my xubuntu is located on. A clue that this is the partition is that it is the only one of type extended as I saw in gparted. It was also the only one apart from sda5 that I wasn't able to mount and sda5 I think was an old USB partition.
Do you have any advice on anything else I could try or are you going to need the output of "fdisk -l" to get a fuller picture.
I appreciate any help you can offer me.
Thanks,
David
