Starting RAID devs - Superblocks NOT read...
Hi guys and gals.
I have a big problem - I have been locked out of my machine...
On Startup I get the following message:
"Starting up RAID Devices.
Checking filesystems
fsck.ext3/dev/hdd6:
The superblocks could not be read or .../...
you might try running e2fsck with alternative superblocks
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>"
When I do this (which I dont really understand what it all means), replacing <device> with /dev/hdd6 I get the message:
"No such file or directory".
I am running Mandrake 10.0 and it has worked a treat since re-installation over 3 months ago. I have not installed any fancy RAID software or apps. (that I know of) and this problem happened since I removed a slave drive that was in the machine (but to my knowledge doing nothing). I have tried replacing the slave drive (after reformatting it for other use, though) but get the same problem.
Can anyone guide me in the right direccion to solve this problem - I am locked out of my own machine :-( I tried google, but there was no mention of how to fix this problem, but rather how to install RAID for the use of multiple HDs.
All I want is to disable this RAID thing as I am only using one Master HD with my Mandrake and Windows XP (the latter is working still).
Thanks for your help
Tahiche
