philothea Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 That does sound kind of bad. I don't think I'm up to explaining Unix-style file systems right now. Did you have any sudden power outages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philothea Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Huh, dumb apropos. Can you su to root and try again? It's possible you don't have it installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photosynthesis Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 to my Linux posse: So my hard drive's having problems, both in Linux AND in Windows. Every time I load up Windows it starts acting funny, and when I try to load Ubuntu it only loads 1 out of maybe 6 tries because it says "no journal on filesystem" and has trouble mounting the filesystem. Right now I'm using my mom's desktop, which is brand new... but it would be nice to get my own computer working. I just got an Ubuntu 5.10 CD in the mail... do you think it would be better to just reinstall a new operating system and hope for the best?

Specifically, from all your comments, it sounds like your harddrive is going bad. Back up anything you want to keep ASAP. Burn it to cd, copy to another computer, usb drive, or something like that. You're probably going to have to buy a new hdd and reinstall win and lin. I'd install windows first as long as you put multiple partitions...

philothea Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I agree with scardella. (What a surprise.) Sounds like hardware. Consider a Mac Mini. (starts at $500) By the time you save up, they'll probably be upgraded to the Intel core duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photosynthesis Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 mmm... macintosh I think I might save up for a mac laptop. I have a laptop now and it would be weird to go to a desktop (especially since I don't have a desk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
