Based on your earlier comment about "I hope I've left /dev/hda3 intact" and "no entry for /home in /etc/fstab" I'm guessing that they're still sitting there on /dev/hda3. Try fscking /dev/hda3, then mount it on /mnt and see what's in it. If it's got your old emmajane directory then you can just add the appropriate line in /etc/fstab. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
