Hi,
I am new to subject so please forgive my ignorance. I have red hat Linux 9.0 on Pentium 3 500 MHz.
I tried to delete certain files and the it just hung there. I used the rm -Rf /<directory name>. I opened another session and try to kill the rm command. But it never got killed. So at that point I decided to reboot the system.
Now when it to comes to read the hard drive it goes to force checking and failed. At that point it asks for root password. When I supply the root password it logs on to the machine in maintenance mode. I used command fsck but did do much.
Please help. As I don't want to reinstall the Linux. Any commands that can fix that problem.
Thanks
