Sorry-New Problem

[Richard Schwai]

Thanks again for all the great advice.  I did download UBCD and created a CD
which I then used to boot.  I saved my files and then ran several disk
diagnostics.  My disk passed all the hardware tests.  However, a second scan
showed my 2 Linux partitions as being corrupted.  I think my improper shut
down caused my problem.  My plan is to reload ubuntu using the same disk and
see what happens.

Comments anyone?
