My hard disk seems to be corrupted, and my machine cannot boot.
However, it can enter into emergency mode.
I would like to mount my home directory and also an external disk to

Please, ignore my question -- I am now doing the backups with the live CD.
Well, if your hard disk is failing whatever backup you do might just be
useless. After all backups are done *before* things fail :-p.
I would suggest you try data recovery. For hints you can look here:

GL,
Just curious: wouldn't transferring / copying the important directories
(root....home....etc) then re-installing the OS on the hard drive solve
the problem? Is there any particular reason why the HD just "failed"?
Maybe it's just a corrupted / moved / altered file that's causing this?
Unless you're received error messages before the ultimate failure of
there being something wrong with the hard drive? Them maybe its still
able to be used?......like I said before......just curious...
