I'm really happy to see that there is a MEPIS forum. Thanks to it's auto config of my wireless card I finally could make the switch to linux. Anyways, my laptop harddrive worked itself loose and now grub is giving me a 17 error. I know that this means it no longer recognizes the partition and when I run the mepis cd it doesn't mount due to unknown filetype. So my question is can I save this drive? I don't have much on it, I have 2 external drives that I store everything on. But since this is Linux and I'm still learning I don't know if this is possible. A windoze partition would be screwed but I'm curious. The partition is ext3 39GB and a 1GB swap no other partitions. Thanks.

I don't understand exactly what happen but if you don't have much on it maybe it's better to just reinstall Mepis letting Mepis reformat the partition.

thank you, i was impatient and did reinstall, aftert that i found a utility on the cd that would probably have fixed my problem, but oh well, until next time. thanks
