opensrctechie · 12-15-2005, 11:54 AM

I have dual operating systems in my laptop i.e., RHEL4 and WindowsXP.
Recently I tried to access my linux partitions through windows, later
when Iam able to access those partitions I have changed Linux filesystems(EXT3) permissions. But now Iam unable to boot in linux now. how can I recover my filesystem.

cheers

Boot your computer using a live CD like Knoppix and attempt to undo the changes you made to the permissions.

Without listing the changes you made it would be difficult to supply an exact solution.

I made the permissions read only from windows. I have tried to recover through RHEL4 bootable cd. But that doesn't solve my problem.

could you pls help me some other way.

check if printing your partition table with fdisk matches your fstab
