You didn't say for sure, but is home part of partition 3 or is it
mounted on partition1?  Also is this a dual boot system with windoze?
   

Home is part of partition 3 and it is not a dual boot system. Thanks.

Well,  if you had 'doze on partition 1 you could use the utility found 
at the link below to get the data off partition 3 assuming it is indeed 
ext2.

Baring installing windoze on a linux box to do that, the best bet it to 
get lilo fixed.  Hopefully someone will have some titbits for you on 
that one.

Somethings to chew on:
