[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 615462, member: 3889"] Glad it worked! But if the message still said the disk was modified, I'd run the fsck -fy until it doesn't, because there would still be something wrong. To keep any small problems from snowballing again, run fsck -fy every couple of weeks or so, or when then spirit moves you. You could also download Applejack (at versiontracker.com) that you access the same way as you did the fsck -fy. Applejack does a pile of stuff before the GUI kicks in, including fsck -fy, fixing permissions and a lot more. MainMenu would be good to have, as well, and/or Onyx. MainMenu and Onyx also can run the daily, weekly and monthly crons (chronologicals). [/QUOTE]
