Dear List -
I was having problems with the video on my Linux box; ie no video,
only terminal after an update. I am running jessy/sid 32 bit. The
question was whether the hard drive and/or the Intel video chip on the
board were bad. A disk test showed no errors, and a clean boot
from a live CD showed that the video chip was good.
The question now is how to heal the system. A new install,
preserving the /home directory is not an option, since I have a broken
DOS partition on the hard drive. An install will remove the DOS
partition, which has a large amount of critical data.
So....
How do I repair the broken Linux partition?
TIA
Ethan
