doing fast boot

welcome to emergeny mode. use ‘systemctl default’ or ^D to enter default mode.
give root password for login:
please help me out of this.
I have been having a similar problem. Try typing your root password. If you get the root command prompt after that try typing kdm. I was able to go forward from that.
I will also mention that my root account has disappeared on MY OWN desktop computer and the auto login account still works and another user account that requires normal log in still works. The root account, if I try to access it, does not boot kdm but opens a small terminal box and complains about changing locales not being possible. As I have not tried to change the locale of the box I am not certain what is causing that.
I am considering wiping the drive and starting over. 
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ running 32 bit version of SUSE 12.2.
Radeon X1650
I am using the box now in the auto login account to write this message.
cheers,
gcd

You are going backwards, then. 
The message about what caused the emergency mode should have appeared
earlier in the process. You are given a chance to solve the problem, and
once it is solved, continue or reboot.
Never continue without solving the problem.
If the message is not there because you are using systemd, then boot in
systemv mode.

i dont know which system ruined my data. what the F-U-C-K!

Hi
You could try booting from a live cd and try photorec?
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
I would not play with the partition in question if anything pull the
drive so no more activity to potentially overwrite recoverable data.

MFT? Rings a bell I do not like at all.
…]
Yea, it is. 
That’s the master file table in an ntfs filesystem. Photorec won’t be
able to do anything, I went that road before.
Have a look here
<http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Advanced_NTFS_Boot_and_MFT_Repair>
+++·························
Repair An NTFS MFT
The MFT (Master File Table) is sometimes corrupted. If Microsoft’s
Checkdisk (chkdsk) failed to repair the MFT, run TestDisk. In the
Advanced menu, select your NTFS partition, choose Boot, then Repair MFT.
TestDisk will compare the MFT and MFT mirror (its backup). If the MFT is
damaged, it will try to repair the MFT using the backup. If the MFT
backup is damaged, it will use the main MFT.
If both MFT and MFTMirr are damaged and thus cannot be repaired using
TestDisk, you might want to try commercial software like Zero Assumption
Recovery, GetDataBack for NTFS or Restorer 2000.
·························+±
In my case it failed, and we had to buy one of the commercial repair
utilities they recommended. We bought “Restorer 2000”, now called
“Restorer Ultimate”
(<http://www.restorer-ultimate.com/download.shtml>)
You can tgry the demo version, and if you like the results, buy the
normal version without closing the program and procede to restore… not
expensive, if your data is valuable.
If you write anything to that disk your chances diminish rapidly.

One detail more. If that failed NTFS partition was listed in fstab, as
Linux could not mount it, it would go to emergency mode. Linux did not
break, it was Windows side causing it all.

is it possible that ntfs-3g driver ruined this partition ? normally i download movies to this partition very frequently. and it seems that ntfs-3g is not good as windows 7’s original driver.

It is possible. However, the disk I repaired was used by a person that
did not use Linux at all. It was also used to store movies and songs.

i know what you mean. i am not saying ntfs-3g or linux is the killer. i just try to figure out.
would you please help me analyse my /etc/fstab file ? especially those mount options related to /media/F . is there any potential problems which could damage file system ?

Accidents can happen. It could be a software crash, it could be a power
failure, a software bug… no idea. Typically unplugging a disk at the
worst moment possible.

Damage? No. But you do have a problem: never use /media for your mount
points, that one is dynamic and reserved for the system, for automatic
mounts. Use /mnt instead. Or /windows. Never /media.
