Thank you Bruno and Striker..... i have tried both methods and still no go.... i should explain what happen.... i was deleting some distros from my comp ... and i deleted Centos by mistake .... i had it backup anyway on partimage .... i did the restore and thats when i had all these problems which i posted .... i wanted to do the lazy way using partimage, first time partimage did that to me and will be the last ...... i remebered i also had restored centos on my dvd using tar ... and dug out the dvd and restored it and    from the first try no problem ..... i guess the old ways are always the best ways ..... again thanks for both your help .... and by the way this was the right way on centos
