Tried installing Linux(red hat 5) along with windows7. I created a new partition(10 GB in size) and used it for Linux installation.
After installation, I was getting 'GRUB geom error' and my system wasn't booting.
Few tries, and I had to format my entire hard disk and had to run fixmbr which came up with a warning msg "a new MBR will be created and Some of the parition may become inaccesible"
Now though I have got back windows, Linux partition is not at all visible. (and it seems like the warning msg has become a reality as that partition looks like has become inaccesible.)
My new Hard disk capacity has also reduced by 10 GB.
IT is not showing up using any software.
How can I recover that inaccessible partition?
(as it all suggests, YEs a newbie in Linux)
