Herb:
boot from other partition or a live CD and then mount the problem
partition that contains your home directory.
You can use "fdisk -l" to see other mountable partitions after you are
booted in Linux.
Before you mount the partition, check it using -n (no fix) with:
(replace ?? with your drive's notation, ie sdb5)
fsck -fn /dev/sd??
If problem reported:
Either use this to fix: (with your ack at every step)
fsck -fv /dev/sd??
Or use this to fix automatically:
fsck -fpv /dev/sd??
To mount:
1. create tmp directory under /mnt on your running Linux
sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp
2. determine file system type (ext3, ext4) of the partition you want to
mount.
parted -l
3. mount the partition
mount -t ext3 /dev/sd?? /mnt/tmp
4. Now you can run "ls -l /home/herb"

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
