Gparted Shows Entire Hard Drive As Unallocated
Hi All,
My buddy is hitting a weird issue. He had some clicking coming from his hard drive a couple days ago and assumed his hard drive was gone. Then yesterday he booted it up and it failed to boot a few times but then finally booted into both Windows and Ubuntu (dual boot, not VM). Now he's able to boot into both no problem, he can also access his windows NTFS partition from within Ubuntu.
The strange thing is that gparted shows the entire hard drive as unallocated despite the partitions being mounted. He has a setup like this:
/dev/sda1 NTFS unmounted, auto created partition by Toshiba
/dev/sda2 NTFS /media/Windows
/dev/sda3 EXT4 /
/dev/sda4 SWAPBodhi 1.3 & Bodhi 1.4 using E17
Dell Studio 17, Intel Graphics card, 4 gigs of RAM, E17

Running testdisk from a utility CD might help.

When he boots to ubuntu, what does "fdisk -l" show?
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
