On checking I found that I had allocated all of hda. hdb was in need of sorting. It had a number of partitions on, only one of which I wanted to keep. It's not absolutely vital - I think everything is backed up - but it would have helped. gparted appeared to do all that I had asked it to do, and everything looked fine, but the final scan reported the whole disk as unallocated! I shall try testdisk in the morning to see whether it can be recovered, but if fdisk can't see the partitions I'm not hopeful. Still, it does seem a great utility, so it's worth a try. Anne
