while formatting ubuntu partition alongside vista {ms}
the computer rebooted and now i cant format the partition for ubuntu
its a 320 gig wd and when i first used the live ubuntu cd it offered me 100 gigs to put ubuntu alongside vista
now after the power failure it will only offer 7 gigs to install ubuntu
i tried to use gparted cd rom disk but it will not fix the partitions
i tried to use the live cd and it still will only offer 3 gigs for the ubuntu partion
i used the western digital lifeguard cd and it said it rewrote the mbr
but the ubuntu live cd will not let me use more than 7 gigs to install
like i said before this is a 320 gig hd
and vista only resides on 50 gigs of it
when i use the live cd it will show all of the vista contents
so its all still there
any suggestion besides taking a hammer to it
