When I turned it back on this morning I get something called Busybox v1.1.3 with a command line(?) of INITRAMFS. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this? Thanks.

I rebooted and got a message that it was doing a "routine check" of the hard drive and hit ESC to get by it. After that it booted up fine. No idea what the story is but it's working OK now. Is there anything I should do?

You can use a Harddisk tools to check Harddisk. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First

I tried your suggestion but got a lot more information than I expected. Would you have a suggestion on which to use?

Code:

jeff@jeff-desktop:~$ man -k fsck
dosfsck (8)          - check and repair MS-DOS file systems
e2fsck (8)           - check a Linux ext2/ext3 file system
e2fsck.conf (5)      - Configuration file for e2fsck
fsck (8)             - check and repair a Linux file system
fsck.ext2 (8)        - check a Linux ext2/ext3 file system
fsck.ext3 (8)        - check a Linux ext2/ext3 file system
fsck.minix (8)       - a file system consistency checker for Linux
fsck.msdos (8)       - check and repair MS-DOS file systems
fsck.nfs (8)         - Dummy fsck.nfs script that always returns success.
fsck.reiserfs (8)    - The checking tool for the ReiserFS filesystem.
fsck.vfat (8)        - check and repair MS-DOS file systems
reiserfsck (8)       - The checking tool for the ReiserFS filesystem.

For ext3 partition, execute fsck.ext3 /dev/<partition> and for FAT32, execute fsck.vfat /dev/<partition>. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First
