It always says that. I've used fixmbr in the past with no problems.

I don't have it working, paulsm4.

kizzy 01-30-2010 02:15 PM

I'll let you know what happens...

Mmm, I'm hoping you're female...
:D
Glad it's OK.

kizzy 01-30-2010 03:03 PM
lol, yes female. Thanks again.

That's a relief. :)

Just to state the obvious: Be sure to back up your Windows partition and defragment it before using Gparted on it, especially if it is NTFS format.

Hi again, Kizzy -

1. It sounds like you're *actually* squared away this time: cool!

2. When you get a chance, please do this:
Quote:
a) Start Windows

b) Right-click on "My Computer". Select "Manage".

c) Double-click on "Disk Management". You'll see all your disk drives, and all of their partitions.

d) Before you ran "GParted", you would have seen some partitions labeled Healthy (Unknown)". These would have been your Linux partitions.

e) For whatever it's worth, you could have freed this space directly from Windows.
Just FYI. That's the suggestion I was trying to make above, in my earlier post.

Congratulations again on getting it working!

Sincerely .. PSM

if u not fix mbr you cannot remove your linux bootlooder from hdd. try to delete the linux partition from xp will cause your entire pc cant boot. try backup your data first then use fixmbr.

brianL 01-31-2010 05:02 AM
It's OK. She's got it sorted out now.

If you ever log into LQ again, please mark this thread as solved.
Or can a Moderator do it?
