Need some help guys...

[H-Sauce]

Ok I have 2 problems. Problem No. 1 is to do with Linux (Ubuntu) and problem No. 2 has to do with a partition.

Problem No. 1: Ok, the other night I done the stupidist thing and just deleted the Linux partition on my hard drive. So I fixed it by re-installing Ubuntu and just left it like. And then after messing with some partitions (Ubuntu partition not touched) I just got some random GRUB Error 22. Any help to why this happened?

Problem No. 2: I can't resize my main Windows partition. It reboots, goes to the actual partitioning screen. And then says Error: Please defragment hard drive. So fine, it reboots, I go to defragment my hard drive and says that I need to launch chkdsk /f. So I go into CMD and launch that. It asks if I want to do it when I next reboot. I reboot and I don't get the chkdsk screen.

Thanks guys.

1) Yes. Stop messing with partitions and you'll be fine. Try a simple GRUB reinstall and see if it fixes the error.

Code: [Select]

sudo grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
exit
Assuming ubuntu/grub was installed on the first partition. hdx,x is listen the hdd number, then partition number respectively.

2) Kinda dangerous resizing Windows partitions...not sure on this one. Once it's defragged you should be clear to resize, though.
