Hello everyone,
I am running Linux Mint 9 (64bit) on a dual boot laptop alongside Windows 7.
I have recently encountered a problem and although my default solution would to just re-install Linux Mint again (well it is a very easy process), on this occasion, I would like to attempt to resolve it. The issue I have is when I try to boot into LM, the disks are scanned and it is reported that there is serious disk error and the partition /home cannot be mounted. I am then given the option to Ignore, Skip Mount or Manual Recovery. Selecting any of the options the causes the computer to freeze and i have to do a hard reboot to get back into the boot menu.
If anyone knows if such an issue can be resolved, please let me know.
Cheers,
Nick

Re: Unable to mount /home at boot
BeakersHelper,
Do you still have your livecd of mint? I would use this to boot and then check the status of your Mint partitions. especially /home. You could save any data you can access to a usb memory. You may then use the partitioner to reformat/repartition your /home.
This is what I would suggest.
God Bless

Hi Doug,
thank you for your suggestion. I booted from the Live CD and used Gparted to scan each of my partitions. Although no errors were reported, Linux Mint booted up as normal when I restarted the computer. Not sure how Gparted fixed it but it did the trick.
Thank you again for replying to my post,
Best wishes,
Nick
