Thanks Jim/Brian, Got this message: LINK COUNT FILE I=6280 OWNER=root MODE=20640 SIZE=0 MTIME=Nov 30 16:06 2000 COUNT 1 SHOULD BE 2 ADJUST? (yn) I entered "y" then tried "yes". Even "n" or "no" did not work. In both cases I pressed the enter key. I noticed that any time I pressed "enter" the "LINK FILE COUNT" increases by one (1) Please help Regards Tunjie Sumner > > Hi there, > > Try to run fsck when you are in single user mode.
