So I wanted to merge multiple unallocated spaces or it was partitions (not sure anymore) via AOMEI and EaseUS partition tools on windows 7 and it done that, but I couldn't boot to ubuntu (16.04) anymore, it just points me on boot to something like grub command line, when I type 'exit' it boots to windows but I need ubuntu back or few files to be exact if I can't get whole OS..
Here is what i tried :
I booted ubuntu 16.04 from CD and installed program called boot-repair, and choosen recommended repair it has finished it process and when I rebooted it was all the same, I can boot windows but not ubuntu.
Is there any way to fix this and get ubuntu back?
One more thing there was a swap partition around 4 GB it seems that 2 partitions were merged and on windows they are shown as unallocated space.
Here is report from boot repair tool:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/r9tt4dZSqc/
16.04 dual-boot grub2

Post link to summary report from Boot-Repair. It does not normally fix partition issues, but perhaps testdisk can. Need to see what partitions you have. askubuntu.com/questions/286181/⦠& cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step

You are just showing NTFS partitions and gaps that may have been the Linux partitions. I would try testdisk and see if it sees the partitions. Note that testdisk often finds multiple previous versions of partitions and you have to choose a combination that does not overlap & keeps the existing partitions you want. I think new version of testdisk now uses sectors, so you can compare with report that shows exact sectors that are gaps.
