Hi,

When i am installing Ubuntu in windows 7 it was stopped mistakenly i pressed CD it opened. Then i re-installed windows 7 in that partitioned window i cant able to see some 20gb in harddrive. I cant see tht 20gb size in my 320gb HD. Now i installed windows 7 in tht i installed Ubuntu also. How can i recover rest of the size?

You probably "can't see" the 20GB space because Windows does not understand Linux filesystems.

If you have Ubuntu installed and working now, boot into it, open a terminal, and enter "sudo fdisk -lu" (lowercase L, not a one). That will list out the partitions on your drive and let us see what is there.

You have 3 NTFS partitions, the extended partition and the three Linux partitions. Swap will not be shown in Linux and as posted before Windows does not see the Linux partitions.

All the sectors are shown used from 2048 to the end of the drive which is normal.

What is the issue?
