I know it's been a while but I have been trying to do what was suggested
and learn at the same time but now I a little worse off as I no longer
have any access to the old [wiped & converted to reiserfs] 2k partition at all, whereas before [it was wiped] at least
it was accesible :-/
It seems to be still there but I am having trouble with the final
stage of getting it to be mounted and usable.

when trying to mount as a normal user I get ...
Called: mount /dev/hda1
mount: only root can mount /dev/hda1 on /home2
then as root ...
Called: mount -treiserfs -odefaults /dev/hda1 /home2
mount: mount point /home2 does not exist
and /home2 has no size (N/A) in kdf.
