need to scan drive thoroughly
Hello,
well, if any of you are wondering, I was able to get debian installed on
the system by low level formatting the IDE drive from BIOS (LILO kept
giving crc errors upon uncompressing Linux).
Now I have another problem...anything that I download to the IDE drive
(where the /home and /boot partitioins are), I get crc errors upon
uncompressing them. using 'fsck' on the various partitions returns no
errors, but I think this might be where I"m getting my crc errors when I'm
decompressingthe linux image also...
Sooo...is there any utility (or switch in fsck) that will do a thorough
scan of the drive? Also, I have my swap partition on this drive (strangely
enough I'm not getting any wierd errors while running linux)...do I have to
unmount this to scan the drive? If so, how can I do this safely?
thanks!!!!
