Thanks all those help. I don''t have any disks now, because I borrowed form friend about two years ago. And I don''t have cdrw (yet, maybe time to get one) so cannot burn.

I also found two bootdisks (one with kernel 2.4.17 and one older. current version 2.4.20 iirc). But booting with them makes no difference, same error.

I''ll try tomorrow Explore2fs and anything, but now i am tired and need good sleep. zzzZZZ

I just want to save my projects. Most important I have backuped to my uni account, but not everything.

Thanks for help, I''ll be back!

Wow, Explore2fs is awesome!!! I can search my linux partitions

I have following (ext3) partitions there:
hdb2: not sure, propably root partition
hdb5: this partition is /home/ directory
hdb6: this seems to be /var/ directory
hdb7: this seems to be /usr/ directory

The problem seems to be in hdb2, Explore2fs cannot read it and gives acces violation and I think it is my root partition.

What can be done to fix this?
Atleast I''ll try to get those installation discs or ISO-files and cdrw.

Btw. Thank god, I have many partitions
