RE: Help with fsck.

Thanks to those who helped me sort out how to run FSCK.

However, after running it I get the following message:

fsck.vfat: not found
error 2 while executing fsck.vfat for /dev/hda1

Can anyone suggest what this means and whether the root is salvageable
with fsck.

Also if I were to upgrade from Redhat 7.1 to 8 would all my personal
files be left intact or would the install overwrite everything.

Many thanks

Gary
