I have a single 120 Gig hard drive dual booted XP and Fedora
Core 6 machine.
Recently Linux had been running slowly. I restarted,
selected the linux side and was shocked to have it fail into a fix disk
mode. It suggested that I use fsck. I did and answered "yes" to
seemingly thousands of questions. Once finally done fixing errors I
rebooted. Now it fails completely.
It complains about multiple "dma-intr: error" and
{uncorrectable error}
The last gasp before terminating says:
"not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"
Then it hangs indefinitely. No keyboard input has
any affect.
The XP side of the machine works fine, but it crashes
overnight. Where do I start? What do I do? Can I save the linux half
of the hard drive?
