You could always mirror your existing linux to a second Ext2 formatted partition...
But I imagine that it would be easier to simply re-install.

Whether you are running RedHat 8.0 or not, this website has what you need:
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...t2-revert.html
If you haven't registered with RedHat, you will probably need to do that to access this page. No cost but a few minutes of your time.

Wow, relax, it was just a suggestion.
I'm a big fan of the "Keep it Simple" way of life and to me, it looked like it might be time for him to cut his losses and re-install. And for a newbie, this isn't necessarily a bad route to take IMHO.
And perhaps you missed it, but I did recommend mirroring to a second partition before the "nuclear" option. If puru_09 is game for that option, I will be more than happy to assist him with that.
Now, if you have a better suggestion, and possibly a link, I'm all ears -- err, eyes

I'll have to have these old eyes rechecked, but I seemed to have missed where ESR shows you how to convert a filesystem...
And while some find him informative, I consider him the S.I. Hayakawa of the geek world. So he's of no interest to me...
But he did have a few appropriate suggestions.
