The first column gives the device files for the partitions, e.g. /dev/hda2. Run fsck on those partition device files that have file systems, e.g. Linux, vfat, as indicated in the last column. fsck will (correctly) refuse to run on mounted partitions. Run a recent live CD to fsck /, /home, and other partitions you must have in order to run. Also take a look at badblocks. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
