Hello,
I had installed Suse 11.x and Ubuntu 10.10, after that I installed Widows 7 (big mistake!)
Right now I am using Ubuntu's live cd, but I am unable to determine which partition belongs to which OS (Suse or Ubuntu), they both seem to have the same folders like boot and all. How to determine now which partition belongs to which OS..??

Are you trying to re-store Grub Bootloader which might have been wiped out after Windows installation?

Now the problem is that, I tried to read the contents of the hard-disk using Ubuntu's live CD. But it wont show me any of the partitions, neither the NTFS nor the ext4. Is there anyway I could read the contents off the ext4 from Windows 7?
