   Just recalling and wondering what Mandriva you are running.   
   But If you have the installation media of whatever you can re-install.   
   If you were backing up the install as everyone should then you can   
   restore from the backup.  I don't know sadly of a current Mandriva   
   distribution.   And stay out of cd / (root) since you seem to know   
   so little about such matters.   
   Your /home should have all the configuration data.   
      
   You could try to recover with PhotoRec but then you need a drive to   
   recover your data.  The drive should be larger than the / (root) in   
   case of problems but I think simply re-installing the OS should   
   work best.   
   	I started using Mandriva in 2006 to 2012 stopping because the 2011   
   version  would not run on my hardware and I could get NO help from   
   the Mandriva site after spending money to download a single iso file.
