Can I unmount a live cd so I can use the DVD burner? Else I'm going to have
to install another HDD. At this stage I can still mount and read /dev/hda4
which has my /home.
Cheers,
Chris

But before doing anything much at all, try and retrieve your important
data now. To a different disk, of course. Stop writing to the
problematic one right now. Avoid power cycling the computer.
Don't run filesystem checks until you have verified the disk is ok. If
the disk is not ok, run filesystem tests only as last resort if you need
to copy data off, otherwise don't bother. Treat all files on disk as
damaged, until(!) you can verify otherwise by checksumming them.
