Re: [expert] Booting problem-----more
okay, i figured out what is wrong. my hard drive has all of a sudden become
read only. i didn't think this was possible, but here i am.
what i don't understand is how it got that way, and how to fix it. any help
would be great.
also, i have looked in my fstab file. for some reason, only stuff for the
zip drive is there. now, considering i don't know very much, i think that
that is a major problem.

i got into linuxconf. when i got to access local volumes, all it has is: /dev/zip for source, /mnt/zip for mount point, vfat for FsType. it says it three times. there is nothing else. could this be the source of my problems? i think i know what's going on, but since i'm new to this, i don't want to get ahead of myself. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
[expert] Booting problem
okay, i'm still pretty new at this, so be nice. i have a problem when i boot up my box. this is what i get. Checking root filesystems e2fsck 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs of something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open / [FAILED] ***An error occured during the file system check. ***Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot ***when you leave the shell. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D for normal setup): Control-D just reboots the system, and i end up back where i started. i tried running e2fsck with a different superblock, but it just gives me the same message. i really don't know what is going on, but any advise would help. by the way: Mandrake 7.0 kernal 2.2.14 (i think) pentuim mmx 166 64 ram nothing really special after that i tried getting my zip drive to work right before this happened. i could not get the zip to mount. it gave me any error message, which i can't think of. i don't know if this matters, but i thought i'd let you know. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
