I have Fedora 20 LVM but cannot access it due to grub error which

Can I reinstall Fedora without touching the /home directory on an LVM

Yes, it is possible. During install, give the mount point for the
existing home filesystem as '/home', but just remember to keep the
checkbox for formatting that specific filesystem unchecked.
Thank you Rejy
In desperation I took another but similar route which saved the files.
I fresh installed CentOS 6.5 which still has the rudimentary but very
easy anaconda.
It found the LVM /home directory so I requested to format / and /boot
but not the /home.
Unfortunately it removed /var/www/html which had web development files
but that is acceptable.
CentOS now has my original files in that fresh install and I can also
copy files across to the fresh install of Ubuntu14.04 on an SSD as
needed so while not prefect, things are salvageable.
Thank you for your email
Roger
