I swung by the machine room (and will need a further change of clothes, the area is absolutely soaked with rain, including flooding in my building).
I rebooted, same problem. I rebooted in safe mode, and it worked.
Congradulations!
Note that BIOS indicates that there is a RAID Adaptec. I managed to enter its configuration utility, but had no idea what to do...
I have never really understood what raid is, as Bab said it's tranparent to the O/S. I am really only working at that level and above.
Be extra careful with the machine...
I will not do anything since I don't know what to do. I tthink if crojobs are not up we wahev not even an internal backup. We are heading for a disaster. Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel skype: thomaskrichel
