Thread: writing a list of partitions


i had restore grub menu, , followed guide (the comments in italian, i'm sorry): http://natonelbronx.wordpress.com/20...altre-amenita/

when gave update-grub2 ntfs partitions (with windows , datas) hadn't been found, instead got message:
cannot find list of partitions! (try mounting /sys.)
this apart, grub works , can launch form hs.

tried reinstall ubuntu, not in way can see partion (the hd blank unallocated space in installation procedure).
see blank space gparted too.
tried use cfdisk /dev/sda, got error message:
fatal error: bad primary partition 4: partition ends after end of disk
i tried testdisk, had windows message error @ startup (when switch pc on, not @ windows startup), forces me use windows recovery disk. don't have grub menu anymore , have install live cd, etc, etc...

there way can have new partition list?

if partition table has bad entry stops working first thing read.

first backup partition table entries file , store on device.
sudo sfdisk -d /dev/sda > parts_sda.txt
