Re: Hard drive problems


Thanks for your reply Jerry.

Im 99.99% sure theyre ext3.

So it looks like its gonna be fsck. Can you give me some pointers as
to how to use this tool as ive never done it. Do I have to mount
anything in order to run it on /dev/sdb1 for instance. Thanks if you
can do this for me... A, B, C. Im good at following instructions.

Check to make certain you are trying to open those two partitions with the
correct file system type. I see those errors if I try to mount say a vfat
as a ext2 or whatever. If that fails, run fsck across them and try mounting
them again.
