i would suggest not fscking DOS filesystems at boot, look in your /etc/fstab and find the line(s) for your dos partitions and make sure they end with: 0 0 as in: /dev/hda11 /local msdos defaults,noexec 0 0 0 2 or 0 1 would cause it to be fscked at boot by fsck.msdos aka dosfsck. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
