| Jym | Hi guys, I'm having a hellva a problem. I'm attmpting to FSCK on a corupted/crippled system, but nothing is seeming to stick/work properly. I'm talking on that system now. How can I get fsck to run on bootup? I tried sudo touch /forcefsck but doesn't work. When I try single user mode, advanced options system ins mounted and when I umount it say busy. | 18:21 |

| alkisg | Jym, are you sure the problem is just fsck and not bad sectors/disk? | 18:31 |
| alkisg | The easiest way to check would be from a live cd/usb | 18:31 |
| alkisg | You'd run both fsck and dmesg from there | 18:31 |
| Jym | alkisg: Yes, the laptop battery died, and bad shutdowns | 19:25 |
| alkisg | Jym: if you don't have a live cd, press e in grub, put break=mount, and run fsck /dev/sda1 from there | 19:34 |
| Jym | alkisg: So, hold SHIFT, get into grub menu, press e, break=mount, then reboot and run fsck? | 20:55 |
| Jym | I'm going to give it a try, brb.. | 20:59 |
| Jym | alkisg: I booted from livecd, when I try fdisk /dev/sda5 it keeps say the is no mbr and to create a dos label | 21:27 |
