Well, i have been using linux for a long time. I used to reboot the computer to use a linux programm after a while reboot the computer again to use a windows programm and so on.... this is very annoying way of working. When i heard about coLinux i decided to install it no matter how difficult was the process. So i installed it and managed to edit the XML file to mount the linux partitions, then edit fstab in linux and installing the kernel modules. Anyway i started coLinux and it had a problem with fsck because it said that module major-block-3 is missing...... i have no idea what module is major-block-3 but anyway, init stopped there and asked for root password for manteneance. So i give it to her and i had a linux prompt, also i could manage to run programms like ls, cat, vim (in colors!! :) and others. Then i run fsck by hand... it said something about being dangerous to run fsck on mounted partitions, i payed no attention to it because i thougth that before writing any change fsck will ask for comfirmation anyway, inmmidiately after it, the kernel got crazy showing all kind of errors, i couldn´t do "cd" i couldn't do "ls", i couldn't do anything. I turned off coLinux and i couln't run it again because it failed to mount the ext3 partition on "/". I restarted the computer in linux and it couldn't init because of kernel panic mounting ext3. I guess i´m screwed, and my partition is broken. But i cannot believe fsck could do big changes in the partition in less than a second running, it probably changed only one bit from one to zero, but not messed the whole partition!!!, right? Anyway, i start asking here because i have no idea where to ask, do you have any ideas to fix this problem?? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
