Aaron - At the root shell prompt, enter you root password. Then do the following: e2fsck /dev/hda1 e2fsck /dev/hda2 e2fsck /dev/hdb1 e2fsck /dev/hdb2 e2fsck /dev/hdb3 ,etc., until it doesn't give you any more errors. Note that the fix routine could take a long time if there is a lot of damage but I have seen an apparently thrashed drive come out of its coma unscathed by using e2fsck. Worh a try. -- Jack Bowling mailto: jbinpg@xxxxxxx
