alienG is still having a problem:
So guess what.. I was looking at my new Ubuntu and tried menu.lst. It says it's not installed. So I install it (from terminal). I am still not sure what I was looking for, but I thought I '' take a look at my partitions. Type sudo gparted. Says not installed. I am like, Hmm, strange, but ok. Install that. I don't know when and why it took off. Anyways, installed and then just staring at partitions and the NTFS partition is empty and there is an exclamation point. And it says that there is no space used, all partition is free. I try to open my drive from Places. Nothing. So then I opened a beer and sipping it and saying good bye to all my files(nothing important, but.... I backed up all nonrelpacable stuff). So. After I calmed down and started thinking what to do with that NTFS partition. Should I install Windows again or try some other OS.. I click once more on my drive and it got mounted. I look at the partition window - it's all back again! And Gparted looks better now. All the partitions have a key icon next to it and there is Mount point column, that was not there before. It shows which partiotion is /, which /home and /boot. There was non of that before.
So that was strange.
