I think this is what's happened - maybe.  Sorry, I can't explain this
very well because I don't know much about partitions and directories.
 My hard disk has been cut up into /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2... /dev/hda7.
 Are those directories or partitions?  My /home is located on hda6. 
How can I find out what the others are for?

I'll try that out as soon as I get home.
Thanks Again
