Re: Meego won't boot and I'm baffled

see if you can (from the command-line):

fdisk -l  (that's a lower case L)  and let us know the results

That command prints out the filesytem types that it finds on your system.

Also run the "mount" command (this will show what filesystems are
currently mounted)
