Around 2008 i seem to remember PartEd on the command-line was able to rescue deleted partitions and gave a choice of whether to recover the partition as a Primary or Logical Partition. I have tried testdisk but didn't really grok what i was doing. I successfully moved a "Windows Recovery" partition to the end of my hard-drive, immediately after the drive's Extended Partition.

So I tried adding a new, 2nd hard drive to my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop for some additional storage and only managed to kill my system so that it won't boot up anymore (I just get a blinking cursor after the BIOS does its thing).I could sure use a little help getting back to a functioning system, and then adding the second drive. I tried following the instructions from this link to add the 2nd drive:
(So the forum rules won't let me post the link, neato. Here it is with spaces added):

I somehow messed up my filesystem. I installed Ubuntu directly with LVM. This created an extended partition including a logical one. When I run out of space, I just increased my space (through VMware) and then added a new PRIMARY partition.
Then I added this one to the volumegroup and increased the logical volume. After I did this a few times, there were no longer any primary partitions allowed (only 4). Then I resized the FS, resized the logical volume, resized the volume group, and removed the physical volume. Now I'm no longer able to create an extended volume (only one) but it's not at the end (there are other primary partitions behind this one at the disk), so I'm not able to create some logical volumes.
What is the best possibility to add some space to the LVM and being able to do this a few times in the future again?
further info:
pvscan:
fdisk -l for sda:
There was a /dev/sda3 at the end of the disk. I already deleted this partition.
So the order on the disk is: sda1 | sda2 (extended) | sda5 (logical referred in sda2) | sda4 | free space
Does it matter that there is type "Linux" for sda4 or can I without damaging the lvm just change it (with cfdisk) to "Linux LVM"?

When I set up my current Debian desktop system ( currently squeeze ) in 2007 I allocated only 8.4G to my / partition. Now I find it is getting too crowded with only about 580M free space (worked around CD & DVD burning by creating a /tmp folder in my /home/username folder). My current plan for fixing this is to use gparted running from a live-cd. I will first delete my swap partition and my /home partition then use gparted to enlarge my / partition to 20G. Next I will recreate & format my swap and /home partitions and restore the contents of my /home partition from backup. I will still have lots of room to spare in my /home partition. My system has no extended partitions. My hd is 250G total. I know this will change the UUIDs of the two new partitions but am not sure if it will change the UUID of the expanded / partition. I expect it will. My next step will be to edit my /etc/fstab and put in the new UUIDs which I will get by running blkid /dev/sdb. My backup drive is an ide drive, /dev/sda. My question is am I likely to run into boot problems with grub2? Should I chroot into my / partition and run update-grub before I reboot or wait to see if it will
reboot first?

I'm installing the ubuntu on my new computer with 1 TB hard drive (and core i7 870 with 4G RAM), for the purpose of scientific computing. I have two questions:
1. Since I am not absolutely certain that the simulation won't use larger swap space than usual (say 3x4G = 12G), I intend to set it initially as 12G keeping in mind that I might have to extend it later. So one might suggest putting it on lvm partition. But then I read that I can maximize the speed if I put the swap at the outer track. If I mix it with the other logical volumes in the same volume group, then I don't know where my swap space is across my hard drive, isn't it? So this might suggest I make it as a primary partition. I'm stuck..
2. My current planned partition map is
/ 1G
/tmp 10G
/usr 20G
/var 5G
/home the rest
taking into account I will install MATLAB and maybe other visualization software. What do you think of this scheme?

This is my partition table....(in the image) Now I would like to install windows in the unpartitioned space after a long time..... I tried but could not do that. I understood that Windows needs only primary partitions!
So I tried to convert this logical one into primary, but of no use... Is it possible to convert that unpartitioned space which is under logical drive to a primary one!

right now I've been playing around with Ubuntu using Wubi and I would like to actually install Ubuntu onto its own partition. But I dont want to lose my Windows OS either (I need it for applications like MATLAB and LabVIEW).
My issue is, my laptop currently already has three primary partitions. One for windows, one for recovery and one "SYSTEM_DRV" (used to hold OEM windows license info apparently). I dont want to mess with any of those partitions. my question is, can I still install Ubuntu when I only have one primary partition?
I read about extended and logical partitions in the guide, but the wording was pretty confusing. All it said was Ubuntu needs two partitions, it didnt say if the partitions could be any type.
