Dear Haro, All threee HDDs are listed in BIOS and apper at the beginning of the boot sequence. I try to copy a few messges displayed upon bootup: doing fast boot FATAL: Module ata-piix not found Fatal: Error running install command for ata-piix Fatal: Module ide_pcigeneric not found Creating device nodes with udev fb_ conflicting fb hw usage radeonrmfb vs VESA VGA removing ge Trying manual resume from /dev/disk---(tht 80G Samsung HDD) -part 6 Afterwards it complins that it could not run FSCK and suggests to run it manuall with given options. For this tha login as root would be necessary, but cannot login as rott. I will read the link you mentioned. I use at the moment an old WIn XP machine in another room. regards: OszkoA
It would help if you let us know what appears on the screen at boot: any error messages, other than the mounting problem?
Can you see the hard disc drives in the BIOS? If not, it's a good guess you have a physically damaged HDD. If you can see them, and you have access to a second computer, you could try installing the HDDs in there, and see if you can mount them and retrieve the content in /home. For accessing ext2/ext3 filesystems from Windows, see here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/
If your /home directory is on only one of the HDDs (or do you have a RAID/LVM setup?), then you can remove that disc, and reinstall on one of the other two, then reinsert your /home disc and update /etc/fstab to mount it at boot.
Hope this helps! Haro
