hi all , |
| 2 |
I tried to resize my gentoo (ext3) partion with the help of "partition magic". |
| 3 |
everything goes correct but in the completion it gave some error. didn't know exactly what was that. Then i reboot the system and find out that grub was lost and giving error 17. |
| 4 |
=========================================== |
| 5 |
error 17 |
| 6 |
This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. |
| 7 |
=========================================== |

Now after some efforts I somehow manage to install grub again with the help of a Gentoo live cd. But I have no clue for how to get back my gentoo partition. Is there any way to rescue that parition?? |

following are some useful info. |
