Error after reboot
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?
I've solve the problem with remove hdb and boot only with hda.
But my hdb seems crashed.......
Thank you very much!

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 .
