So when I start my laptop up I am told that a fsck check will occur because of an unclean shutdown. It always stops at 69% and tells me I need to run the fsck manually which I have tried, but my novice ubuntu skills don't get me very far. It might be a physical problem.
Anyway, these are my concerns:
I need to save my hard-drive with my photos and music and documents and all.
-is there a way of accessing and backing up my Home Folder through the live cd? (Which I'm using as we speak - leading me to believe it isn't a physical problem)
Not a huge deal if I need to redo my settings and download my programs again - though I'd like to avoid that.
Or if someone could walk me through a manual fsck check I would be most thankful.
Interestingly, I have been trying to get this thing going for about a week and 99% of the time I can't log on, but twice I was able to get to the log in screen and access my hard-drive, which quickly froze up on me.
At the end of the day all what I'm mostly concerned about is my documents because I haven't had the chance to back some of them up yet.
Is it possible to reinstall Intrepid without erasing the hard drive?
I feel how I did when I was 18 and the engine in my Dodge Charger seized while I pulled into Mr. Oil Change.
Thanks in advance.
