Greetings everyone, I need some help from a installtion problem... I have a Western Digital EIDE 1.6 GIG as the first drive and a Maxtor 2.0 GIG EIDE as the second drive.... My FreeBSD is using the entire drive on the Maxtor and booted fine before I installed the Western Digital using the FreeBSD setup disk... The problem is that during installation, I selected Novice and boot manager and it asks which devices and I specified wd0a and wd1a but I only did the partition on wd0a and FreeBSD newsfs and copied the stuff to wd0a but for some reason, it messed up wd1a. I didn't have the rest of the disks except the root, boot and fixit floppies so I was originally going to copy the data from wd1a to wd0a but when I tried to boot wd1a, I saw the bootstrap and it just hanged the machine afterwards.... Booted using the boot floppy and the fixit disk and mount /dev/wd1a gave me a Incorrect Super Block. I did a fsck and it said CANNOT READ BLOCK 16-28 or something and fdisk /dev/wd1a and it said invalid fdisk partition table. Is there anything I can do at all to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vince vince@earth.gaianet.net GaiaNet Corporation - Unix Networking System Adminstrator
