  Found that I had not lost the OS anyway put the CD in & ran 
  rescue root=/dev/hda, rescue root=/dev/hda2, rescue root=/dev/hda4, rescbf24, resccomp & rescvanl 
  tried them all the result is essentially the same, (hda1 the boot partition & hda3 the swap partition)

  Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02
  
  finally got into the the system but have no idea what I am looking for or where it may be located

  suggestions please
