Your /home partition should be mounting off the root "/" not under "/media". So
I really don't know what happened!

other install & from there I opened the file sys & FM showed home & herb but
when I tried to open it complains that it is not a folder.
this HD is a SATA
herb@herb-elfa:~$ sudo blkid /dev/sda8

Well I yayed 2 soon. .. I cannot boot because it says it cannot find a
/home/herb folder well running in the other pat I can see the sda8 part with
/home & /herb there but when I attempt to open it with filemanager it says it
is not a folder?
I looked in property’s>permissions it says permissions cannot be determined but
gives this as location .. /media/a724d786-cc12-4d7a-8c67-e75cadfbb9cc/home/herb
I hope there is a way to fix this without losing all the files in there I am
backed up except for maybe past week so won't kill me
thanks hh
Herb,
Maybe grub is trying to or has mounted the wrong partition.
run "blkid" on when the home drive is mounted to see the /dev/sda8 to UUID name.

Another question: Is the home partition on a Serial-ATA or is it a USB Drive?
