I was trying to resize the main partition on my Suse Box so I could install Linspire. I was using QTParted from a Knoppix live CD. It finished with an error. I had a look at the partition table and nothing had changed so i presumed everything was ok…… Oh No it wasn't. I can't boot into Suse now as it says the partition is corrupt. I am now trying some of the Suse Repair tools form the installation CD. Stupidly I hadn't backed up email or bookmarks or documents. This is a real pisser. Luckily I only had the system up and running a couple of months so I didn't have “too” much on it. Just my luck…….. Argh!!!

Update: I have since used QtParted from a live cd and it worked a treat and saved my ass big style
