DELL Inspiron 3542
I recently bought Dell Inspiron 3542 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS preinstalled on it.
For some reason I had to restore my system back to the 'out of box' state.
So, using Dell Recovery Tool I performed system restore. Everything went fine and I had my system back to the 'out of box' state.
But I noticed afterwards that last partition(containing both Extended and Linux-swap space) on the disk has increased from 8GB(previously) to 17GB and I have no idea why?
Below is the current partition table(after system restore) :-
Model: ATA ST1000LM024 HN-M (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 368MB 367MB primary fat32 diag
2 368MB 3589MB 3221MB primary fat32 lba
3 3589MB 983GB 980GB primary ext4 boot
4 983GB 1000GB 17.0GB extended
5 983GB 1000GB 17.0GB logical linux-swap(v1
Before system restore,
1. 'Number 3' used to END at 992 GB and' Number 4' & 'Number 5' used to START at 992GB.
2. Size of 'Number 4' and 'Number 5' was 8387MB.
3. Everything else was same as it is seen in above table.
I want to bring disk partitions back to previous state and also want to know the reason that why this thing happened?
Please help!!!
