mounting linux partition after installing windows
- by varsketiz
I installed windows 7 and my grub is gone. I'm trying to follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
but I can't mount my ubuntu partion.
sudo fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 13 4863 38958080 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 4864 14594 78157825 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 14220 14594 2999296 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Gparted shows my Extended partition as empty/unallocated space (???).
How can I mount it?
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /media/ubuntu
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
