Not Booting, Missing partitions

[pbhill]

Having a similar problem. Had difficulty booting so I ran Boot Repair. Now it appears that my Linux drive (SDB) no longer exists! It just shows one . labeled as "unallocated". Before there were four partitions. I am worried for my Home partition. Cant boot either disk now.

Please do not hijack another thread. Totally missing partitions are a different issue.
Start another thread with good title. Include link to Bootinfo or whatever you can.

Sorry ... Not trying to "hijack"! it's started from the same source, failure to boot. Just trying to get some help here!

Sorry oldfred, but nobody's trying to hijack anything. This problem started at the same source, a failure to boot after an upgrade. I am just trying to get a little help here.

Moved to your own thread as missing partitions is different and failure to boot is very generic. Most issues are unique.

Post the link to the Create BootInfo report. Is part of Boot-Repair:
