Got any suggestions? AFter that last bit o crap, the HD's stop making any noise.

Sigh...

Cute... Well, it looks like you caused some damage to the various filesystems. As soon as you can, hit CTRL-C to break the player application. This will be as soon as you see it try to remount the music partitions. At that point, turn on your swap and try to check the disks by hand.

Good news is that if the drive is toast, today at Slick Deals.NET there are 7200rpm 60G Hatachi drives for $133 shipped. Seems like a good deal.

Thanks Paul! Worked perfectly! Took a while and found many errors but it's working now!

Thanks again!

Cool!
