This happen to me before, I had Ubuntu and windows xp on one drive and for some reason windows disappeared. With the help off a great guy we were able to recover some important files from windows xp. Nowadays I am living with Opensusy and windows vista on the same drive but on another machine , occasionally I had a warning that vista was running out of space, actually windows had plenty space but the backup had very little space. So one day, vista left me and took all the files with her. There are some files, that I need to recover. I looked at gparted but have no clue as what to do. If I would increase the recovery partition would vista spring to life again? Vista is not important though, but soon I need it to do my taxes and these are the ones I lost (turbo tax) Thanks for looking at this, John -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
