Ok, I'm going to fess up, cause I need help...

I was reading this webpage Partitioning in Fedora 8 and he states:
Quote:
It is easy to do a clean installation and yet keep your /home/user data files if you have created a separate partition for /home from the very beginning on your PC. For this reason, I never use the default Fedora partitioning scheme, but always the custom partitioning. It involves creating 4 partitions.
I have used the default Fedora 8 partitioning scheme which probably means that if I re-install Fedora, it will erase my data.
I'll try the re-install and see if it shows a 100+ Gig partition that is probably my /home....
Otherwise I need another way to get a few files of my drive....
