I don't think so either.  It doesn't sound right.  but neither does
"partition information corrupted".  I'd try to find out more if I were
you.  If the hard disk is still available, I'd love to see a linux guru
look over it and see whatever there is to see.

You're right of course, but isn't your subject still a bit of a
nonsequitur to the rest of the post <smile>?

Ever wonder why I don't reply to you more often?

It's because you don't do line-breaks; it's a pain to have to re-break
the part of your post I quote in my email. Can you get PocoMail to do
line-breaks?  Pretty please <smile>?

(What is PocoMail, anyway?)
