and this is all it shows.
any help is appreciated! thanks.

 

The exact thing happened to me one day, unfortunately the only solution I have to your problem is to boot from a recovery usb which will also format your drive making you have to start from scratch!

The manual you got inside the recovery cd will show you how to create the recovery usb. If youve lost the cd, you can dl the software on the linpus website, so Ive read. This is the only help I can offer since I am a total newbie to linux!

Good luck!
