Hello everyone, I've got myself into quite a bit of trouble.
Problem: My system no longer can boot windows and if I try booting debian it gives errors regarding the root file system. Here is what I did: I booted windows for the first time with no problems, so then booted a livecd off my usb drive and did resizing with gparted. I resized the sda1 partition, the one in which windows resides on. I think it may have said resize and move, this may be where the problem lies. I'm totally blind so going off what a sighted person tells me. Apparently it said something like resize and move. This appeared to go fine, until I rebooted (changes were reflected in gparted). I got the error: "No operating system" I decided to install linux hoping grub would correct the problem. The machine is running windows 7 and I told the installer to use largest continuous free space. Then when I wrote the changes to the mbr, it said windows vista was found. I assumed this must just be because grub hadn't been updated for win 7 so I said yes. Now when I boot I can choose from a grub menu: Debian linux or debian recovery And windows vista I try the two debian ones and get errors regarding the root file system and it doesn't boot more than a recovery console. I tried the windows one, this starts a recovery program however, after trying to recover a few times nothing changes. So if someone could help me out I would be extremely grateful. Will it be possible for me to get a bootable windows again or should I just install linux to the whole disk. I kind of need windows every now and then, so hoping I can get it booting again. Or will I have to purchase some sort of windows cd. Finally is there any sort of full system recovery I could do that would help me? I'm using the asus eeepc 1008ha. Sorry about the very long post, I thought it was important I describe exactly what I did. Any help is greatly appreciated.
