You need to tell us what fsck is reporting, not "something like" what it is
reporting. Most likely, fsck is encountering a problem and telling you what
has to be done to fix it, but the messages aren't always easy to understand.
Also, remind us of what your drive setup is -- how many drives, ide or scsi,
and how they are partitioned.
Oh, and what does "NO LONGER RECOGNISES THIS DRIVE" mean? Do you get a
boottime error message? Can you not mount the drive by hand from the command
line? Can you not cd to it using its standard mount point? Something else?
