I forgot to mention in my first post that I'm running Reiserfs on it, and I did a: reiserfsck --check /dev/hdaX on all partitions. It did find 2 files on /dev/hda5 that were pointing to nothing apparently. I did a: reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda5 on it and it seemed to fix it. When I ran reiserfsck with the --check option again though - they showed up again. So I did a: reiserfsck --rebuild-sb /dev/hda5 (I eventually did this on 6, 7, 8, and 9) followed by: reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/hdaX (all the above) It *seemed* to fix everything but whenever I tried to reboot or use 10.0 or 9.2 install disks for a rescue I still get the same messages. :-( Thanks for replying. PS They sure don't make'em like they used to - I had one of those infamous IBM Deskstar models that failed in like 3-6 months (remember the infamous memo saying these drives aren't really meant to run 24 hrs a day or somesuch?). -- /\ Dark< >Lord \/
