I have a couple of winXP machines here, will I be able to access the drives with them if I take them out and mount them in the WIN machines? _______________________________________________ No, Windows does not know about the EXT2 file system. You would want to mount your hard drives in a Linux System, or another cobalt system. What I would do is to plug a null modem cable into your console port, and watch what happens during the boot up. See what is causing this problem. It could be that you need to run fsck. (kind of like the old chkdsk/scandisk). If you do not get any response from your hard drive, you can try to re-install the software with your OSRCD that you have nicely tucked away inside of your fireproof vault. If you lack that, you can always download it from ftp.cobalt.sun.com. If you are unable to restore it. Go to your local computer store, purchase a new hard drive (5400 RPM, ATA-33/66) drive for about $80 or so. Jumper it to be the master drive, put it into your cobalt, and restore it to your new and improved hard drive. Thanks and Happy New Years! ~Brian. _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
