Hi
I have a system which was dual boot and had the following configuration
/dev/sda1 NTFS
/dev/sda2 NTFS
/dev/sda3 linux
/dev/sda4 extended
/dev/sda5 lvm
The filesystem got crashed, now i am trying to recover it without corrupting
windows partition.
I booted the system in rescue mode and mounted the linux filesystem which
was on lvm in the following way...
bash$ mkdir /new
bash$ mount /dev/mapper/VG00/LogVol00 /new
bash$ reboot
then it came to the grub prompt
grub
??
now I am not able to understand what to do
Plaese help me with the lvm concepts, so that I can understand and
resolve the problem.

No. The LVM partitions I maintain are:
/home
/home/music
/home/video
/usr
/usr/local
/tmp
/var
/root
(swap)
No, /boot should not be on LVM.
and that is the catch. /boot in most installations is not on a separate
partition.
I personally hate auto-partitioning things (well, for that matter even
auto-installing things). Don't bother with them... even if you want
to, I'm sure most of these CD installers come with manual partitioning
options.
I had that for a couple of years and it was more trouble than it was
worth. Primary issue is with the default initrd generated when a new
kernel is installed -- had to do all sorts of obscure initrd
configurations to make sure it booted up fine on an LVM.
I've been using LVM for over four years now and it works perfectly. I
can add and remove physical hard drives whenever I want without
worrying about repartitioning.
HTH.
