Fedora 17 Crashed big Time, I installed Fedora for a friend and Three days later it Crashed.

Ai Boot startup it would Stop at Rescue Grub. After further investigation I found that label for / and /home Partitions had neen changedf to "UNKNOWN" .

I'm very concern about the /home partition that has some very important data that needs to be retrieved .

I always setup my Fedora Boxes with a / /home swap , three partitions , that way I can do a next version of fedora fresh install on / and Users data will be left untouched by not Formatting the /home partition.

THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS, Can i do a fresh install by puting the labels back to / and /home from "UNKNOWN" and Save the Users Data in /home Or can I assume that the Users Data is LOST !!

My friend say the Data Has got to be SAVED. If I can't do it he will have to take the hard drive out to someone that can. I have talk him into using a /Backup hard drive on his new computer
