hello!

i'm very desperate. i'm not a hacker or any cool linux geek. but...
yes, i dit it, i used parted to resize my ext3 partition... maybe i should do fsck on it before... but i didn't.

i resized hda1 from 3.5GB to 5.1GB. and then it started...

now parted says:

"Warning: Partition 1 is 5185,011Mb, but the file system is 3498,500Mb."

"Warning: The information sector has the wrong signature (0). Select cancel for now, and send in a bug report. If you're desperate, it's
probably safe to ignore."

-so i'm sending a bug report

AND, WHATS QUITE SCARYY:

Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
1          0,031   5185,041  primary   fat32       boot

NOTE THAT IT IS EXT3 PARTITION!!! NOT FAT32!!!

WHAT'S EVEN WEIRDER, FDISK SEES IT RIGHT:

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       661   5309451   83  Linux

PLEASE, HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO... I WASTE A LOT OF SPACE ON THAT DISK AND MISS SPACE TOO, THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO RESIZE...

ok, now i'm trying windows partition magic, so please hurry before i kill my poor little linux by accident! :)

PS: i'm using this linux now! it's debian. partition is broken but fsck shows it's ok. so it seems like there is good fs on bad partition... but it works so far.....
