Sorry, that's what it means at the moment.

We need to see them to know what's going on (but only the disk error messages, please. /var/log/messages can get *very* large). Also, let's see: 1. The contents of the file /etc/fstab. This one's short. 2. The output of: dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.out That's the contents of the file /tmp/dmesg.out after you've run the command above. > it works fine under DOS.
