    Hmm. I don't really get why the mount didn't work that time.

    What does
    Code:
    sudo fdisk -l
    output?
    Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.

    Re: accidentally deleted most of my /boot partition

    I wonder if I could get anyone else to help with the Grub issue? Or even the mounting issue so I can get my home folder onto this USB drive and just do a fresh install.

    Either would be wonderful.

    Re: accidentally deleted most of my /boot partition

    Any suggestions or should I start a new thread for the grub issue / USB drive transfer?
