I'm not sure it has to do with anything being deleted... It looks like it has partitions. Only they are unrecognized. I still suggest to format (previous back up) it.
I installed the earlier kernel image 2.6..30-2-686 in place of 2.6.30-3.686. I can now rw as user but require root priviliges to unmount the clue was when I ran #ls -l I saw all media even the floppy required root. I think I need to look at the change log and go from there. Thanks for your help, I was just about ready to reinstall. Johjn.
