No, booting from the cd will do nothing to your files. If you have booted from the hard disk before now, you might do an e2fsck -p for each of your partitions and prayerfully, this will work to fix the difficulty. It is possible that, if you just shut down the machine without going through the shut down procedure, you might have corrupted a file system.
Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C. Computer Scientist For CHRIST! _______________________________________________ Oralux mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freearchive.org/mailman/listinfo/oralux
