Hi Paul: You've got my compassion. Stuff like this always happens when nearly almost no one else is around... ah the wonder of it all!
To your point: Here's a link which should be helpful for YDL 4.1 although the instructions address an earlier version of YDL. The only addition I would suggest is that once you are in rescue mode run fsck (file system check) from there. Here's the link: http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/solutions/ydl_general/rescue-mode.shtml Regarding getting more information regarding this tool (fsck) or others I've found this link below most helpful: http://www.tldp.org/ Good Luck in resolving your problem!
