What CD do I use to get into chroot /mnt/sysimage , F17 Live CD ??
I downloaded it from here:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options
When you boot up you'll get a menu. The second option is the "repair"
option if I recall correctly and that's what you're looking for.
And smartctl shows that hard drive has failures and old-age problems.
I just installed Fedora 17 on the hard drive three days ago.

Hi Jim,
Being an end user myself, when I first got into Fedora I was losing data constantly from upgrades, as I assume is common for every new user. It was very tough to realise that I just wiped out all of the data. A positive that I took from the experience is that it taught me to always backup; now that we are upgrading every 6 months I just save everything on an external drive - nothing on the hard drive except the essentials that need to be on the computer.
Hope this helps; I really wish there was something that could be done.
Regards,
Richard
