I have a working WinXP in sda1 and a working Mandriva install in sda5 (swap) and sda6 (everything else). The partition table cannot be read but GRUB works. I still have 60Gb of emty space which I would like to turn into a /home directory and move the home based files across, but the partition table is corrupted (something about a missing "magic number") and the Mandriva partitioning tool will not allow me to add another partition.
Try GNU Parted instead, which appears to be the most sophisticated partition handling tool.
