problems booting up
i just used diskdrake to partition my external hard drive. i didn't do anything to my internal hard drive, however, except temporarily copy a bunch of files onto it from the external in case i lost them in the partitioning process.
anyway, now i can't boot into linux. every time i try, it tells me that there are bad sectors on /dev/hda7 (my /home directory) and drops me to a shell to repair the disk. i am kind of clueless as to how to make the necessary changes from the shell (or even for that matter what changes to make). any help would be greatly greatly appreciated!!!! |
it tells me the same thing about my root filesystem.

have you tried e2fsck to fix the file system?
e2fsck /dev/hda should give you either errors or fix it. hopefully the latter. |
well, it appears to be my swap drive that's messed up. i just tried to get in there and edit /etc/fstab and it said it couldn't open it up to write. then, i tried to run e2fsck on it and was fiven an error, saying it does not describe an actual ext2 device or there are errors on it. any way i can save this? i don't know how this could have happened. . .i really don't think that i did anything to the swap drive....
:( :confused: |
anybody know what to do? i tried to mount /dev/hda6 and it tells me mount point swap doesn't exist.
i could certainly use some help here.... thanks. :( :confused: |
nevermind
nevermind, everybody. i was able to get my machine booting up again by commenting out the offending line in the fstab. however, i'm now having other problems, which i listed in a new thread here:
