I was trying to resize my hard drive partitions and create a new one for installing ubuntu using partition magic but did it incorrectly and now when i try to open partition magic i get 'Int Failed: Error 117 Partition Drives letter cannot be identified' Any thoughts as to how i can get this sorted?

are you using an old version of partition tragic ?

or scsi drives or RAID that need special drivers ?

ubuntu has a partition tool in the install

or you could use wubi to avoid partitioning

download the live cd for gparted and burn it to a cd, and bootup.

this will allow you to resize, and create new partitions
