I thought I was experiencing hard drive failure. I don't think it booted from a knoppix disk unless I removed my hard drive for some reason. I later bought a new drive and installed debian on it and then installed my old drive. I booted from the new disk and was able to mount /dev/hdb6 my old home partition. I extreacted it from there. I later repartitioned/reformated the entire disk with the mke2fs -c -c option to find out that it did not report any bad blocks at all. Yeah but accessing the drive with the corrupt partition table would make linux crash. Jeremiah
