I've been kinda worried about the disk integrity and want to do some = form of "chkdsk/scandisk" on it. I've read the man pages on fsck and I'm not = sure where to start. Every time I run fsck, it claims my drive is not in a = write mode. What switches/parameters should I use to do some sort of check = and automatic repair of my drive? Thanks! --Eric
