Just installed a new disk, and I'm having trouble ...
The story is, that I had one 40G IDE, split 20/20 between XP and Ubuntu, one 80GB IDE for data and one 80GB SATA for data. I didn't design it that way, it just grew up like that.
Now I've got a 500GB SATA to replace the two 80GB data disks, and I will use the 80GB IDE for the OS's. This time split 50/30 in favour of XP.
So I copied all the data from the two 80GB drives onto the 500, and using partimage from the System restore CD I've backed up the two 20GB OS partitions onto the 500.
Next I removed all disks, refitted the 80 and the 500, repartitioned the 80 into 50/30 and restored my backups from the 500 to it.
I then rebooted and it fired up into Windows, but all is not quite right. Firstly, I've lost the grub menu, but that's not the major issue at the moment.

In the above, windisk is the first partition at 48.83, 22.77 is linux and the 2.93 is swap.
I can't access all of the 50GB partition from windows...
Any ideas?
