gonna have to get one - or make one, which means I gotta get this machine to

hmmm
what I'm thinking is that something is corrupted, hopefully not physically,
on my big harddrive. so I think what I'm gonna do is take it out, get the
system going with the other drive (smaller), cuz I don't THINK it's screwed
(although I could be wrong) - then make a cd of one of those and maybe try
my real goal as always is two fold - learn new stuff, expand skillset, but
also be able to work - but right now my goal is to get the data (especially
these tracks i just recorded and hadn't backed up), store it, reinstall from
scratch, wipe, clean, wipe butt, shower, reinstall audio apps, get data back
and be back on track.
hmm deee dooommmmm - man it was screwy because this crash happened in the
middle of the first session with any other players in my new
studio/apartment - DOH!
Aaron - At the root shell prompt, enter you root password. Then do the
following:
e2fsck /dev/hda1
e2fsck /dev/hda2
e2fsck /dev/hdb1
e2fsck /dev/hdb2
e2fsck /dev/hdb3
,etc., until it doesn't give you any more errors. Note that the fix routine
could take a long time if there is a lot of damage but I have seen an
apparently thrashed drive come out of its coma unscathed by using e2fsck.
Worh a try.
