Gross error in judgement. I so enjoyed 6.5 that I bought 7.0. Eight hour installation process, many procedures taking place "blind", interminable waits. I lost one whole night's sleep trying to install. Install error with mouseconfig. I thought no biggie, just reconfig. Did that by cntrl/alt/F1. Wouldn't shutdown clean. Wouldn't reboot. Now it won't recognize my rescue disks, it tells me I have partition failures that force it to stop loading, gives me a choice between entering boot password to do maintenance or ?control-D? for standard startup. But it won't let me do a standard startup, and no commands can be found to run fsck on the problem partition. I've tried booting with the linux boot, the old_linux boot, the old1_linux. Now I'm stuck in Windblows. I'd hate to lose what I have in my user files. I'll try any ideas anyone can offer. Failed to backup before attempting, Ken
