GRUB issue 3125

Thanks for your replies! I am sorry I didn't notice the instructions page - I am a bit frazzled at the thought of having all my data lost.

Anyways I followed the instructions on the page and got the right package and did what was asked. However it doesn't seem to be working.

Firstly when I do an fdisk, this is what I get:

sbin-fdisk -l

Diskdev-hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors-track, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id Systemdev-hda1 * 1 5099 40957686 7 HPFS-NTFSdev-hda2 5100 7295 17639370 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)dev-hda5 5100 7295 17639338+ 83 Linux

Now I am trying to get atdev-hda2 which I see is W95 Ext'd(LBA), so am I doing something wrong by mounting it as NTFS?

Secondly when I try to mount it I get the following:

mountdev-hda2mnt-windows -t ntfs -r mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ondev-hda2, or too many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount an extended parbreastion, instead of some logical parbreastion inside?)

Now sincedev-hda1 is listed as NTFS, I thought maybe I can try mounting that to see if it works, but there too I get the following message:

mountdev-hda1mnt-windows -t ntfs -r mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ondev-hda1, or too many mounted file systems

Please can you guys advice on what I seem to be doing wrong - basically I just need to get at the data indev-hda2. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. TIA.
