I have had some rather bad disk corrpution (laptop battery failed on me I think). The easiest way for me to fix it as far as I can see is to re-install as there are a few key applications that don't work.. I have a root partition and a /home partition. Only the /root partion is affected. I can back up /etc which seems for the most part unaffected by the corruption.
Can anyone suggest the most painless way to do this. I can back up /etc onto /home. Thanks in advance Kieren
