How to restore a 'dead' system using another OS or a terminal cmd line
I need to do a system repair. Putting Mint to 'Sleep' was working, and now I notice it's 'hanging' with a black screen that only responds to pushing the hard reset button.
I am at the Systemback 'System repair' window and see the directions that the user is to select his installations 'system partitions' (I assume, this means the partitions on one's system that correspond to /boot - /root - /home) from the left-hand drop-down menu, then identify them as to what each one is, and then press 'Mount'.
=>> I am having a problem with the drop-down menu, as _it only shows partitions up to /dev/sda8,_ and on my system /root and /home are _/dev/sda9 and /dev/sda10. _ <<==
So, I don't see how I could mount them, or proceed to repair them.
To explain why I'm have no choice but to have such high partition numbers, I have a triple-boot (Windows 2000 Pro, Windows 7 Pro, and Linux Mint Quiana). The triple boot is working fine, but I had to create quite a few partitions to do it.
What should I do? I'd very much like to see if Systemback can get my 'Sleep' function working again. Help, please!!
