Yes this sounds exactly right! :) I suspect the File Browser and the Disk Utility do not look at that "backup" so they have no problem seeing all the partitions and files. a second 'backup' descriptor if the nearly always reliable and Master Boot Record. ought to be if the google gods are smiling, be the "Verification Boot Record. I am not familiar with that error but a quick search turned up mention that it, might, maybe, couldbe. Is it possible to restore the deleted or damaged partition table and make the hard drive bootable again? Thanks! It seems at least the other partition table is still intact since Disk Utilities and File Browser can still see all the partitions and files. It may be that one of them was deleted (when I removed the ~ 500 kB partition with Disk Utilities earlier maybe?). :confused: I vaguely remember that there are two partition table on the hard drive. Now Disk Utilities and File Browser can see all the partitions and files on the hard drive, but GParted thinks the entire hard drive is unallocated. I deleted that and reboot and got "unknown filesystem grub rescue>". When I tried to create again Disk Uilities did not complain but only created a small ~ 500 kB partition. In the mean time ubuntu did some security updates. When I tried to create a swap space partition (with Disk Utilities) it failed. I used Disk Utilities to delete a 2.1GB unused partition. I got swap space full error and the ubuntu version of "blue screen of death".
