so ... how can i do that? boot from the originalCD?
i dont want to lose any data from my / partition or from my /home
:cry:
i need help

hi!

i do not know "parted" at all.

you could use a live-distribution which doesn't boot into /dev/hdax. so it would be easy to unmount /dev/hda1(-2) (just for the case it is mounted at all by the distri).

maybe ubuntu live --- kubuntu live --- knoppix ...
