Ubuntu

Having just installed mint on my new raptor, I decided I was going to removel the old unix partition from my NTFS back up drive, and resize the NTFS partition to fill the full 500gigs instead of just 300.

While resizing the 300 gig to fill the full drive my computer shut off. When I booted back into mint, and started Gparted back up it is said that my 500 gig either has an unrecognizable file system, ore the file system is damaged.

I know the files are there somewhere, however the only option Linux, (and windows) gives me is to create a new partition. Is there a program I can use to restore the file system/partitions?

You are probably out of luck. Especially without knowing the position of where GParted was. Chances are good that it had already resized the partition, and began moving data to the front of the partition. If the filesystem is EXT3, I guess you could try a filesystem check with fsck, but I wouldn't be hopeful. Sorry mate!
