Hit the reboot button did we? Enter your root password and type man fsck at the root prompt . It'll give you the manual for the fsck command. I believe you'll need to run fsck -r to repair the disk segments at which point you'll be able to exit the root login (type "logout") and the computer should shutdown and reboot. application/ms-tnef

On Thu, 15 Jul 1999, you wrote: ok all is fine and well, but when i boot i have to use a floppy linux sys disk to use lilo and thats kinda annoying. what can i do so i just see lilo w/ no disk. also in lilo i dont see my win98 hard drive. not good at all. please help on that one. also after i get through that, when linux loads i get the error message " hda2 file system w/ errors, check forced" then it just goes south from there and tells me i have to give my root pwd for admin use. i just want linux! (but these problems dont detur me from getting things to work) hope this is my last really stupid newbie Q. thanks At this point, to fix your file system problems, get/make a "rescue" disk and type "rescue" at the LILO prompt. Then, when it's finished booting from the rescue disk type "e2fsck hda2" I would recommend reading the "man" page for e2fsck. There are a lot of options you might want to consider using. -- John Aldrich COL Tech Support === Chattanooga Online Internet 423-267-8867
