When exactly do you get this? Upon booting the CD into rescue mode? If so and provided that the CD passes the media-check, I would assume that some parts of your hardware have taken damage. - -- I can boot into the Linux "install menu" using the CD without a problem. The message comes after I write linux rescue I can hear the computer reading from the drive, then I get the message mentioned above. For insurance reasons, my computer was sent to a workshop for "damage control". The "only" hardware damaged were my Monitor, agp graphic card, pci modem and pci TV card. Before I sent the computer to the technician (and after I got a new monitor), I was actually able to log myself on to Linux without any difficulty, despite problems with the Graphic Card. The damaged hardware have all been replaced and I don't run into problems with any of my hardware when I run Windows XP. Partition Magic does not find any errors på de Linux Partitions. So the hardware should be fine. Marie-Thérèse -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
