Hi helpers :(,
I am facing a bizarre problem. I have installed standalone Ubuntu 11.10 on my PC, and was working fine until i decided to install Windows 2008 R2 for testing purpose alongside with Ubuntu.
Before installing Windows 2008, my partition table was something like this:
/dev/sda1 primary partition (40 GB mounted on /, on which Ubuntu lies)
/dev/sda5 (30 GB ext4 , mounted on /home)
/dev/sda6 (70 GB NTFS, mounted /media/general)
/dev/sda7 (75 GBNTFS, mounted /media/others)
/dev/sda8 (80 GBNTFS, mounted /media/videos)
I wanted to install Windows on /dev/sda7, but as it was not primary partition, i could not. so from windows interface i tried to delete it but it stuck there. so i just restarted the system.( which is causing me all this problem)
now when i start Ubuntu, screen goes black, and after a brief pause it prints KILLED on top left. (nothing else)
i selected recovery mode from GRUB menu, it loads some files then stops, saying kernel memroy error, no killable processes.
i booted form Flash drive with Ubuntu Live, here is the queer result of fdisk -l in terminal
Warning: omitting partitions after #60.
They will be deleted if you save this partition table.

well, I have got no idea how they came into being, ostensibly they look like copies of each other having same data as i had on /dev/sda6 (/media/others)
and i cant find my data that resided on /dev/sda8 (/media/videos), i dont want to lose all the data i had on that partition, and I have no idea what to do next.
Help is required desperately.
