The on screen results of such trials have been photographied and are 
available at the urls below :

This includes the results of the 'startx' trials.

Doing this, I have been able to login as user, which confirms that 
'/home/user' was still available. A random check confirmed that most or 
  likely all files were still there on /home/bd

a 'df' test still didn't show any

'/dev/sda2'

  partition, but, as mentioned before, I doubt if there was any such 
partition before ; in my other computers I have none, if I except the 
more than ten years old systems. Nice to understand that, without such 
partition, the /home/bd is available

I have been able to access

/var/log/messages

  and other similar files, and to copy them onto an USB External Hard 
drive. These hold tens of thousands of lines, and I don't know which 
keywords to search for, but these said files are available upon request, 
or I can search them if someone suggests keywords.
