Then: fsck -Bv / fsck -Bv /usr fsck -Bv /tmp fsck -Bv /var fsck -Bv /home Then I tried to mount the firewire hard disk. When I do this, I got a series of characters printed on terminal, and a message that the computer will be reeboted in 15 seconds. What went wrong and how can I begin to use my firewire disk? I am not able to post the output cos, I don't know how. Thanks in advance Tk ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
