*sigh*

When I woke up this morning, Lagbane (the new name of the desktop when booting FC5) had gone blank screen and wasn't snapping out of it. Fine, whatever, I'll hard-power it down for the day. Then this afternoon I learn that was a mistake, and killed my boot partition - is there a clean way to fix that?

I take it LogVol00 is your boot part? It looks fine, it says it's clean. I suspect the failing dosfsck is for a different filesystem, probably your windows disk.

I'm not familiar with FC, does it have a recovery mode on the CD? If so, boot it, mount your root partition, and take your windows partition out of /etc/fstab. If not, use the knoppix cd to do the same. It looks like you might need to use LVM: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/LVM2
