That sounds bad. Did you accidently let XP use the entire hard drive?

Does the directory exist? Does it exist in your /etc/fstab? Permissions?

Thank you for the reply!

Here is the complete error information.
#chroot /mnt/sysimage
chroot:cannot change root directory to /mnt/sysimage:No such file or directory No such device

#fdisk -l
/dev/hda1 * Fat32
/dev/hda2 Ext'd
/dev/hda5 Fat32
/dev/hda6 NTFS
/dev/hda7 Linux
/dev/hda8 Linux Swap
/dev/hda9 Linux
------------------------------------------------------
I can't view my /etc/fstab because can't change root directory and mount the hda7.

It seems the Winxp installation have destroyed my linux ...... :(

-_-

Thank you so much
