   On this HP 6730b Laptop, I multi-boot Win7/MD2009.1/MD2010.1/MD2012/MG2   
   and have my Home in a separate mount (SD8) so that all the linux's can   
   use it!   
      
   By default it boots into MD2009.1 but a couple of days ago, MD2009.1   
   died (which is why I'm posting this using Win7). Today I finally have   
   time to check things out. Sure enough, MD2009.1 wouldn't boot, so I   
   re-installed it, but it still would not boot, nor any of the Linux's.   
      
   This time, though, I actually looked at what the system was telling me!!   
   Lots of lines of no real interest, I hope, then.....   
      
   (from the screen)   
   Checking filesystem   
   /dev/sd8 contains a file system with errors check forced   
   (gets to approx 32%)   
   Inode that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found.   
   /dev/sd8: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCIES; RUN fsck MANUALLY   
   (i.e. without -a and -p options)   
      
   I've tried booting to the MD2009.1 DVD, but I cannot see anything there   
   that will fix my Home mount. I've tried to run "fsck" but I expect I'm   
   not getting the correct syntact.   
      
   Can anyone give me a workable plan to help me re-claim my Home mount??   
   (Treat me gentle!!)   
      
   TIA
