I installed Fedora on this dual-boot workstation about 4 years ago.
It took a few days, mostly wrestling with the first few steps. I still don't know
what I finally did different so that it worked. I do not recall what kind of file system
this Fedora system has. I am a home user, not a sys. admin. How can I find out from
within the dracut shell or the rescue mode? This seems to be essential to following
ShenEn's or Stan's advice.
If I were in your situation, I'd boot from a LiveUSB and use GParted to
examine the partitions, find out how each one of them is formatted, and
use what you learned to do the repairs. (It might even be possible to
fix things that way, but I'd not count on it.)
