hi all

my terminal fsck-f wont go beyond putting in the command. all it does is go back to my computer name again. yes, I am entering fsck (space) - f.

Here is what happened. last night I got the long tone when starting > then went to screen as normal.
later I restarted and got the box with a blinking "?". couldnt shut down or three finger start. > so pushed the little button in the back (and went to bed)

tonight I reset the pram (3 bongs --sound not pipe ) > started right up.

that's when I decided to run fsck. no matter how many times I do it it returns immediately to the opening line.

i posted this elsewhere and was the first time I ever heard of fsck -yf (or fy). I always have used just the -f with tiger. always worked. now doesnt work at all

anyone out there on this forum who can help us out here ?

thanks

sue

The 'y' is for yes, repair. I've needed the 'y' tag since 10.4, myself. However, if fsck can't fix the problem, it'll tell you so. If that's the case, don't despair, there's stronger stuff for directory problems. DiskWarrior will fix it if anything can.
