Judging only from their size, 2 of the look like data (hda1 and hda6), one looks like swap (hda5) and one looks like partition with nothing on it (hda2). > rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 > /dev/root / ext3 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0 > none /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 > none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 > sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 > tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw 0 0 > tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw 0 0 > usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 > /dev/root /dev/.static/dev ext3 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 0 > udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 > devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 > tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 > tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw 0 0 > tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw 0 0 > capifs /dev/capi capifs rw 0 0 > binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 Here, you don't have any of the partitions mounted--I'm guessing this was from a live-CD or something? What you can try now is something like this: mkdir /mnt/hda1 mkdir /mnt/hda6 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6 Now look in /mnt/hda1 and /mnt/hda6 and see if your "missing" data is actually in one of those. My *guess* is that your hda1 is your old "/" partition, but has data in home (i.e. /mnt/hda1/home) and hda6 is your old "/home" partition. If you don't find what you're looking for, it might help to work on this a little more interactively (e.g. XMPP, IRC, or a shared screen session). -- Wesley J.
