Thanks, Kerry, talking now. Thrown up some interesting things, though, think I will need to do a new install. A bit of history in case anyone is interested. Been using debian testing for some time and I noticed that although some newer kernels had been downloaded, it was still booting one from January. The newer ones were listed in the grub menu.lst. After lots of googling, I upgraded to grub pc and at that point it would not boot any more. Using the rescue cd, I found that the hard disk is sda1 and swop is sda5. However, in the menu list they are listed as hda0. Also, in /etc/fstab it says that the system was installed on hda1. So, I am thinking that something has gone fairly badly wrong with the system. I was able to get the sfuff my my home directory so, unless anyone has any ideas, I will get the latest debian testing and start again. It has certainly reminded me howto use mount and umount but could have made better use of the last 3 days. Sorry for the ramble and thanks for the help. Incidently, I did change the drives in the menu.lst to sda1 but still got error 15.
