  77. #Questions
  78. Are all of my files gone? Where do I go from here? I originally had Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on /dev/sda1 (sda2 & sda5 are swap, nothing else on drive).
  79.  
  80. I started the install to see what the installer would let me do. It's finding "/dev/mapper/cc11rockVG-boot", "/dev/mapper/cc11rocksVG-boot" with type ext4 (322122 MB). Then on to "/dev/sda", encasing "/dev/sda1" (742256 MB) then finally "/dev/sda5" with type swap (7898 MB). It looks like this is how it is supposted to be. How do I transfer the files from my OS (move entire OS into LV), then delete it?
