1. How can I look in /dev/hda3 to see if my documents and saved mail is there?
2. If it IS there, how should I backup that data and then reinstall on a separate HOME partition, that would be accessable to both 9.2 and 9.3? When I re-install 9.2 I think I better reformat /dev/hda except for XP which is on /dev/hda1. Agree?
How did you have it partioned the last time. What I mean what device was nounted on hda3, hda5 & hda6?
hda2 was swap for 9.2 hda3 had all the rest of Pro 9.2
3. If it is NOT there. how should I make the re-install of 9.2 put the HOME files into a separate partition?
My utterly messed up drives follow. I have absolutely no idea how /dev/hdb got the way it is. Don't understand the reference to Solaris either.

To help further please show what is in /etc/fstab.
Sorry, but I really need detailed instructions.
