I tried to boot using the recue mode but it the instruction that were given to me by a friend failed!, How can I create another boot disk??

Unhappy Can you explain!

Sorry, I'm kind of new doing this rescue mode. What do you mean: "linux rescue or rescue rootpartition depending of what you can do(f1,f2,etc...)". Could you please explain, this problems has never happen to me before.

Thanks..

Did you boot from cd when you installed it? If so boot from cd and type linux rescue at the boot: prompt
