I have 80gb spare hdd that I use to install Linux or do such tryouts. I installed Linux mint on it in such a way that Linux was installed on logical drives. 20 gb free space, then 40 gb primary partition and remaining was extended partition with 3 logical drives boot, root and swap for Linux. Booting was possible thru external boot apps like easy bcd installed on windows which is on a separate hdd.
From windows I just created a primary partition in that first 20 gb free space and this operation resulted into Linux drives (entire extended partition with 3 drives ) becoming free space on its own. No worries on data loss as it was tryout, however could there be any technical explanation for this behavior?
