Hi, newbie A/UX user alert. I'm not new to Macs but I have just tried A/UX. I have a problem however of what could be re-installing proportions. I carved up the 1GB hard disk in my IIci into 4 parts, a Mac partition for a separate Mac OS (6.0.8), a Mac Partition for booting A/UX, A/UX Swap and A/UX ROOT&USR. I installed A/UX and it ran up fine and was working. I then installed system 6.0.8 on the non A/UX Mac partition (256MB) and booted into it. I could not set the startup disk back to my A/UX boot partition so I had to do it using System Picker. It went back to OS 7.1 and tried to boot A/UX but ground to a halt reporting disk errors all over what I presume to be the USR&ROOT partition (c0d0s0) and wanted me to run fsck manually. I did so (fsck /dev/c0d0s0) and it reported not being able to read several areas and the hard disk made that dreaded noise like that area was retrying, i.e. corrupt. Can I save it or should I re-install? What might have killed it to start with? I never shut it down illegally or anything silly like that I did it properly as I know what NIX is like about disk errors -- --
