So I was greeted by a message on my screen this morning saying something to the effect of "No boot loader found". I tried booting the machine from a FreeSBIE CD, and I ran fsck to check the drive, which gave me the following messages: FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK SALVAGE? no SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD SALVAGE? no BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS SALVAGE? no Now my question is, do I try mounting the drive and attempt to backup my data, or should I run fsck first before doing this? I run a regular backup, but unfortunately there are a few things that weren't included with the backup that I'd like to try and retrieve. Any help is appreciated, thanks Mike
