September 9th, 2012, 02:43 AM
I installed ubuntu with wubi in windows7 64bit, and I had installed Mandriva 2011 with a disk. I tried to learn linux with Ubuntu and misused Code:
mke2fs
; after I reboot my computer, windows7 and ubuntu has crashed.

I think I may used the following command

Code:

mke2fs -j -L "logical"/dev/sda2 but I had forgotten what kind of partition it was before I transfered it into ext3
maybe ntfs

As I have mandriva, I boot into mandriva and found

Partition table entries are not in disk orderData was not lost, and I can view my files as I could in Windows
In Mandriva explorer; which shows me places in my harddisk, there are following disks;
117.2G hard disk, files in it is the same as my Windows D:, and ubuntu was installed in it;119.0G hard disk is my G:, with my personal files in it;12.0G is the same with mandriva / (with means root), 101.3G hard disk with nothing but lost+found;DELLUTILITY should be Dell computer utilities preinstalled in my computer ;logical is the disk which I had spoiled, it contained lost+found folder;and OS is the C: in my Windows.


After I boot, grub let me choose Mandriva or Windows. I chose windows and it tells me:

FILE system type unknown, partition type 0x7 Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable formatI doubt something wrong with bootsector
