Most of the distributions like RedHat, SUSE, Debian provide CDROM which have "Rescue" option. For this, you have should set the BIOS of your computer to boot first from IDE CDROM drive. Usually you set the BIOS (using F8 key during boot) to boot first from CDROM drive, second from Floppy drive and third from hard disk. Load the Linux cdrom into the CD drive and reboot the system. The Linux distribution will load and at the prompt select "Rescue Operation". In the resuce operation mount the hard disks and try to repair.
chroot /mnt/SYSIMAGE 642-515 - 642-812 - 642-845
# df
After doing chroot, the system will look as if you had booted the system from hard disk. You can see all the partitions and you can repair or recover the files.
