Inside the Windows partition I have a Windows OS partition at 30GB, a 27GB unallocated partition (this was fixing to have a Bohdi linux distro installed onto it), a 27GB linux Mint distro partition, a 30GB Kubuntu partition, and a 990MB swapp partition (was trying to figure out which distro I liked the best and had them all installed for cat /proc/partitionsħ 0 327416 ntfs-3g /dev/sda /mnt/windowsįailed to mount '/dev/sda': Invalid argument Is there a way to mount the Windows partition from the Live Linux distro and therefore, be able to fix the boot image?Ģ003 SONY VAIO PVC V200G Desktop with 120 GB hard drive with 1GB of RAM with a intel pentium 4 running at 2.80 GHz. I tried running the boot repair CD and It tells me there is no OS detected so it cannot repair the boot img, which is how I figured out my Windows partition is unmounted. I already knew I would loose the boot.img and was prepared with a boot repair CD which also has a live linux distro (which is how I'm able to start this thread). To make matters worse after doing some re-partitioning to even out the partition size's in my Windows OS I lost the boot.img and ended up in grub rescue on a reboot.

I was having a debian squeeze and win 7 dual boot.I Accidentally unmounted Windows partition thinking I had only unmounted the Linux partitions inside of the Windows partition while trying to install a Linux distro( I managed to boot into my Windows OS from the linux). The partitions are as follows:-Ī 105 GB for Windows installation, a 170 GB for storing data (possible NTFS), another 170 GB (possibly NTFS), a 1 GB (swap space) and 20 GB (ext4 partition). Is it that, all my data is lost or only the partition table? How do we recover the data?

Now, I cannot start my machine as it says no OS found. When prompted, I chose options o and w and the reboot my machine. Instead of doing fdisk /dev/sdb (which is my usb pendrive), I fdisk-ed /dev/sda, which is my primary hdd. I am running Debian Squeeze in my laptop.
