Hi Folks,

I am using Redhat 9 on my machine. Somebody hacked into my machine & changed the root password.

When i actually rebooted the machine It said
" bootloader 1.5<enter> Please wait<enter> Error 15: File not found"

When i booted into the machine using a rescue disk, i discovered that /boot directory is empty. The data present on the machine is very important & is unharmed until now!!!

Can somebody tell me how i can recover the system from this point w/o loosing data??????

Actually i disabled ssh as root. I wonder how it is being done.

Thanks
Newbie.

Were you using a partitioning scheme that allowed your files to be on a separate partition? If so, I'd say reload the OS and away you go. If not, Then I'm sorry, but I'm not much of a help.

Sure, just reinstall from your distro CD's
"use existing partitions" when it asks you about partitions

Thanks for your info. I will look into it.
