The only boot disk that I have is the one of Debian Installation. Do you believe that its root disk hasn't the e2fsck program? Can you send this program attached in a reply, or say where can I find it? I'll mount my W95 partition with the program in it, and will attempt to use it... > If it cannot fix the problems, then you'll have to use an > alternate superblock, but that's another story. Can you tell me how to do it? I think the problem is in the first superblock, but don't know how to use another superblocks. > If it works, you can try to mount it on mnt, check that > about everything is ok, and reboot. Now, a stupid question :-) How can I check that everything is ok? I don't have books about Linux or Unix, and the little things that I learned was with the 'man' command. With my poor english, that was a true "Mission: Impossible" ;-) Thanks again!
