ianw1974 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 You won't be able to mount it until you've fixed the problems. You'll need to run fsck on this partition. Then mount after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereisnolag Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 i did try fsck and it did not fix the problem and I have no idea how to mount a HD without a GUI. Guess I'll save my self some trouble if I just re-install... thx for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 When it prompted you to fix it, just press "y" and it should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
