If the drive itself is broken and data cannot be got off of it, you could just reinstall Red Hat, couldn't you? You can just mount your other working drives as is. > Last but not least, as im sure this is the first question people will > ask me, I don't have a rescue disk. :( my mistake. The Red Hat install disk serves as a rescue disk too. You can type linux resuce at the prompt for it to go in rescue mode. See http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-rescuemode-boot.html for details. Hope this helps. -Nevin -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
