I used the standard mandriva partitioning scheme when I installed it. I will check the MCC for the partitioning scheme to see is the my home partition is there.
Thanks

I checked the partition manager in MCC and it shows the root partition and the swap partition and my home partition is greyed out and shows sda7 linux native. I am not sure how to mount it.
Thanks

Try
Do you have an entry in
for the /home partition?

Kind regards

When I tried mounting the partition I got [root@localhost xguest]# mount /dev/sda7 /home
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

This is what fstab information

# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=e23642fd-2da7-4a79-819f-295da44b513a / ext4 acl,noatime 1 1

Kind regards

Ok whem I tried that I got
[root@localhost xguest]# ls -l /home
total 24
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2010-07-10 08:10 lost+found/
drwxr-xr-x 62 robin robin 4096 2012-01-14 13:07 robin/
drwxr-xr-x 4 xguest xguest 4096 2012-01-15 08:29 xguest/

I will try to login to my account now.

I tried to log in to my home partition and the same thing happened could not open. I logged back into the xguest account and checked the home directory and it showed only the xguest account and then remounted it again and it showed my user account and the xguest account and lost and found. I am not sure what to do now.
Thanks Robin

When it's mounted, try the chown command again.
Then try to login.

Kind regards

Thanks repo that worked I can now log in to my user account again. I don't know what could have caused this to happen but I now know how to fix it if it happens again.
Again Thank you very much for the help I have a lot files that I have not backed up since last week.

What I don't understand is how I could log in to the xguest account but not my home account.
