Hi. I tried installing the Fedora 10 preview alongside Ubuntu 8.10 after resizing my root partition (/dev/sda1 is root, /dev/sda2 for swap). At first it didn't recognize Ubuntu, so I added it to the GRUB configs, but then it wouldn't boot. I think it's panicking that there's a bunch of hard drive space gone.
I broke out my 8.04 live CD to fix the partitions. GParted, after trying to resize /dev/sda1, halts with this:
I tried running "fsck /dev/sda1" manually as root, but it does this after I say "n" to the same "Abort?" question:
I held down the "y" key for a minute or so, and it will ask those same questions for every block. How do I fix my hard drive, OR, barring that, how do I get to my /home folder so I can save my stuff before a fresh 8.10 install? I can't access /home at all for some reason. D: This is all on an HP dv5z.Code:root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# fsck /dev/sda1 fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) e2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 35232545 blocks The physical size of the device is 27552512 blocks Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!

help :C
Hard drive resized, now borked (OH SHI-)
