Dual booting Mint 8 and Windows 7. Windows is reporting a file system error. I go into properties and check for errors, but since it's in use it asks me to reboot. I do, and grub comes up. I select windows and it just takes me to windows without checking the file system.

my partitioning layout was as follows
Vista Recovery
Windows 7
GRUB
Extended
-->Fedora 12 (ext4)
so, I shrunk my recovery in Windows 7 successfully, and booted into my Fedora 12 live cd to run Gparted, and move the partitions so that the free space could go towards fedora, I did such, and then I couldn't expand the partition to my dismay. Next, I woke up this morning, tried to boot to fedora to run SSH, grub loaded, but when I tried to boot fedora, I got the "File system check failed" error, and when I tried 7, it just went to a blank screen with a single "_" in the top left-hand corner.
I'm running a dual-boot with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP with GRUB. There are a few corrupt files on my XP filesystem, so I scheduled Windows to run Chkdsk on restart. I restart, select Windows in GRUB, and the screen shows saying it will run Chkdsk, press any button to cancel. Without me touching any buttons, it cancels it.

Then it gives me a command prompt. I really don't want to have to reinstall ubuntu as I have a lot of stuff installed on it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have recently noticed that my HDD fsck during boot up (generally done after 30 mounts) is always skipped. A file system check has never happened. I don't remember if this is the case ever since I upgraded to Lucid or was it after I tweaked some settings.I am a learner who keeps tweaking some minor settings, so I am not sure if I have screwed up something.At boot I get the following message:

I have a Hp Netbook, and my friend installed Ubuntu to my computer. Everything was going fine, until one day my battery died while I was searching the web. I turned it back on and It started checking files and then it took me to a black screen with white letters saying "File System check failed".
View 3 Replies View RelatedA non techie friend has helped an even less techie friend by contacting me by email to discuss an ailing laptop. A few emails were exchanged, with more details, and it was not looking good because it seemed that suddenly the CD drive was not responding, nor any USB devices, the wireless icon was gone, but Ubuntu still seemed to work (for now), with wired ethernet also working. I was struggling to think of what could be done, with the favourite routes of Live CD and Live USB apparently gone.
After a few more hours - another email: 'It's now working! After so many reboots it checked disc for errors and repaired itself! Is there some way of doing that when needed anyway?'I see there is 'Disk Utility', and this would presumably fit the bill, but how does it do checks and repair when the damaged file system is being run, and is currently *mounted*? I thought utilities like fsck(?) could only be run on unmounted file systems? Have I misunderstood the disk utility fs check repair function? And anyway, what might be a good answer to my (nontechie) friend's question 'After so many reboots it checked disc for errors and repaired itself! Is there some way of doing that when needed anyway?'
For the record: (quote) It is a toshiba EA60-155 Model number PSA67E-00300C8J. He put in extra ram to install ubuntu. He thinks he may have deleted something! There is a 'trash' file on his USB drive with loads of stuff in it and he doesn't know how or why but because it won't now read the drive on her laptop we cant replace it! (end quote)

On my laptop I have a dual boot system, CentOS 5.4 on one partition and Windows Vista on the other. In Windows, I have a program installed that allows me to access my linux partition so I have access to the files. Every time I boot into linux after accessing the linux partition through windows, I get a forced file system check. I was wondering if there is a way to disable or perhaps bypass this check?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSuddenly today during the start up the pc stopped to respond while doing a file system check...
I switch it off, restarted and everything seemed to be fine, i got the desktop without troubles.
Then i tried to boot from the live Key and run a fsck but it didn't work, i got some error like:
superblock could not be read....and at the end it says to run e2fsck
I did it and i got the same error...
So i restarted ubuntu and i decided to try:
And i got a blue screen where i selected the first option (something alike restart in normal way)
At the next restart i finally got the checking and it was fine! why i can't run fsck or e2fsck from live key
i get file system errors on boot up. found logs in /var/logs but cant access them. second best thing i can do is to re-install debian but no one seems to want to say how thats done. my disk wont run in wine (some error i dont remember) so i cant use my CD /flashdrive to re-install.
1) i need to read the log files and try to fix the install
2) if i cant fix i need to know how to wipe the OS and do a fresh install
i have problem during boot my F11 , the problem is :

I entered 'sudo fsck' at the prompt and I selected "y" to fix all the bad inodes, when it was complete it told me to restart, I then entered 'sudo restart' at the prompt and it said 'sudo uuid unknown'. I have not installed anything recently and I'm not sure what to do.

After I log in with the root I get the message mesg: error tty device is not owned by group 'tty' Can the forum tell me how to troubleshoot this issue so I can boot back up again? I have 2 harddrives in this server and only 1 drive was detected when I first installed CentOS. The error first appeared when I mounted the 2nd drive at the mount point /UserGeneratedData. drive was formatted with ext3 before mounting and did not have any data on it I don't want any software RAID if thats what seems to be going on with "VolGroup00"
I clicked "Safely remove hardware" (not sure if it's right - using Russian version..). It's right above Properties (right-clicking on the disk in Computer). So, I want to get it back. How do I do that? Also, how do I check the SD for errors?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe first is I seem to have 3 GRUB installs. So whilst I update the one from my live session, the change does not appear in the boot up menu. I had installed 10.10 from a CD into a different partition (sda6), but that will not boot, so I have just deleted this and done another grub install and update. The kernel I am using has just been updated from 10.04 to 10.10 too, and it is this that I use and the Grub I have been working on (sda5).

I have one hard disk for my root partition and a disk array on a separate mount point. I rebuilt my disk array, but I didn't delete my original mount points beforehand because I was hoping it would just "pick up". So now when I boot up, the OS tells me that the filesytem check fails because it can't find the array to map to the mount point. I know that I need to edit my /etc/fstab and remove the line that defines my mount point on the disk array. But it appears to be read only filesystem when I am in repair mode. I can't force the write with vi.

I just installed the newest version of Xubuntu using the LiveCD, I chose to install it alongside my current installation of Windows 7, everything went well it seemed, but now when I choose Windows 7 under the GRUB menu it just restarts my system and then takes me back to the grub menu, Xubuntu works fine though and boots fine, I tried sudo update-grub, didn't fix it.Heres the boot info from a script I found, but being rather poor when it comes to diagnosing Linux, I figured it'd be best to post this and see

My computer's recent history in chronological order:
1. debian jessie is installed using netinstall iso to sda.
2. windows 8.1 is installed to sdc.
Now "lsblk" returns:
Code: Select allNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 111.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi

Result: My computer boots directly to Windows 8.1. If I press F7 during first seconds of boot and choose "debian" as the boot device (via blue bios screen, not grub), debian boots.
My purpose:
1. To use debian grub screen to choose between debian and Windows. (To avoid pressing F7 during boot to use debian)
2. Set debian as default OS in grub and boot to debian unless I choose otherwise in for example 10 seconds.
I guess that I should update grub to fix this but I don't want to take risk.
I have a dual boot system (Linux and Windows) that I normally run headless and which boots by default into Linux (which is what I use mainly). This all works fine, except that on occasions when I want to boot Windows I have to plug in a keyboard and monitor just to select Windows in the initial grub boot screen. I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do this ? I don't mind if I have to boot Linux first, I just want to be able to reboot into Windows occasionally without having to plug in any peripherals.
