note: gparted cancellation operation did not complete should have , original ubuntu partition did not return previous state.

i'm guessing filesystem resize operation took long. gparted dummy run, it'd take twice long actual operation well.

did try mounting linux partitions livecd? if filesystem messed up, mount should complain. fsck of partitions livecd. possible, copy unique data source, since recovery no means sure @ point.

after done, start gparted again, , check out state of partitions. if can remember old (down few mb give or take), can try resizing old size.

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
