Yes. If you boot from the Install Cd#1 and at the first screen hit the button 'For more options' then type 'rescue' at the prompt. It will boot in a minimal linux and give you a menu. One option is to mount the partitions. You could then try repairing them. Another alternative is to get hold of a knoppix CD and boot from that. You will then have a full linux environment in which to repair any damage on your HD. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
