I was working in fbsd just fine when I recieved an email from a friend in rtf format. So I rebooted into winblows to read it, then rebooted back into fbsd, except it wouldn't boot up. I got a kernel panic and it failed to boot. I tried the emergency boot off the cd so I could get my data files copied off, out of my user directory. Only problem, I wasn't allowed to enter my user directory! I tried over and over, finally gave up and installed another harddrive and installed a new copy of fbsd, figuring I could then mount the original and access my files that way. Huh,sure. Well, I am able to mount the drive okay, but the /home/chip directory is gone, in fact all the programs I used are gone! Bluefish, Gimp, Wxftp, they are all gone! I tried a Find *.htm and it came up with everything except the ones I was working on. I have many hours worth of html files I have to get off that drive. They must be there somewhere, but where? I was able to mount wd3s1, is there another partition that I may need to look at mounting? I tried wd3s2 but that doesn't work. I really need those files, please help.
