Look in /etc/fstab - at least your root and swap partitions should have entries. For those partitions that haven't, try e. g. mount -t ext2 , it will only work with the correct type. It shouldn't be necessary to reinstall. Worst case - ackup your data and reformat the partition. I think it is even possible to upgrade a partition from ext2 to ext3, but I don't know in detail.
