Boot into Mint - rescue mode would be sufficient - and post the output of: df -klh mount cat /etc/fstab If necessary, mount a windows partition in R/W mode and pipe the output of the above to a temporary file on it. Reboot into Windows to get access to the files and a working OS to mail us the output, or just SCP the results to another machine if you have another working computer/phone/tablet.
