Re: [LUG] Disk Corruption

[Ben Goodger <goodgerster@xxxxxxxxx>]

On Knoppix with Ext2/3, unmount the offending partitions and 

e2fsck /dev/hdxn

This should fix it. Also try reinstalling GRUB. Other than that I can't be of very much help, as my Linux has never screwed up like this. ~ben

Hello

I have managed to some how corrupt my Linux drive.

I shut down out of linux then the next time I booted it failed to load
the GUI & was saying about running fsck. Which I did but it made no
differnce.

Now it doesn't even get that far grub starts to load then I get:

Grub Loading, please wait
Error 17

Are there any linux disk check/repair utils I can run to repair this
volume (or anything utils that will run in windows as the system is
dual boot)?

Thank you
Steve
