Hi all, The other day I switched on my computer in the morning and waited for the oS 11.4 to start (the other system on it is Win XP). The bootsplash screen disappearad and then lines of text were printed on the screen. After a while a prompt appeared telling me to give my root password. I typed it, but it was not accepted. Repeated the boot sequence a couple of times, but to no avail. Finally I chose Failsafe from the GRUB menu and somehow I could get some response from the system. It turned out that I was in / directory and nothing else was mounted. This morning I found the 11.4 install CD and thught I would refresh or reinstall the system. Refresh did no change, I still could not boot into the system. The fresh instaal insisted to format even the /home directory, which I really do not want. Additionaly It told me that it is not posibble to mount some volumes - there are 3 HDDs in the computer. The only thing I want to preserve is my home directory. Could anybody help me how to advance?
