Error after reboot
Posted on 2002-03-26
Hi,
I have a machine with RH 6 and 2 hardisk (hda and hdb). After the machine reboot, some errors appear and cannot run properly:
read_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error}
And I try to reboot with boot disk and use rescue mode, but still not success with command e2fsck. I found that only the hdb return with "coluld this be a zero-length partition?" problem.
How can I fix this problem? As my disk is FAT format, can I use another OS to boot it and copy the data out?
Many Thanks

e2fsck works for ext2, not FAT. Have a look at
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/8.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/dosfstools-2.8-1mdk.i586.html
that package contains a fsck.vfat, I think that should solve your problems. once it's installed, I think fsck should find and use it, otherwise call it manually.
Hope this helps.

Sorry that I know little about Linux, can I make some changes that can boot with hda only? coz my data was stored in hda.
Can I upgrade/reinstall the RH to get data back?
Thx for your valuable comment

What steps should I do? If I have a RH 7.2 CD, can I install it and get back my data in original RH 6?
well, if it is just a meanless data, just forget about it because i searched the internet and everywhere they say (THERE WILL BE NO RECOVERY), sorry man...
But if the data is worthy, I would start having this solved by doing the following..
1- Installing RH 6.2, try to recover the data !!
PS>> DO NOT FORMAT WHILE INSTALLING !!
2- Installing RH 7.2, try again, DO NOT FORMAT !!
3- Try a Partition Magic program to convert the partition to a more readable format, this is guaranteed not to loose any data while converting the partition .
after converting it from FAT to anything ot vise-versa, try recovering your data then .

sorry for poor english, but i hope you understand .
