Re: [PLUG] Desktop Support ?

[Greg Helledy <gregsonh@gra-inc.com>]

On the netbook, it sounds to me like something on the HD became 
corrupted when the machine ran out of power.  As the voltage from the 
battery was dropping lower and lower, it may have begun writing 
gibberish to the drive...this might have gone on a while before the 
machine quit altogether.  The good news is it's unlikely that the 
hardware itself is damaged, but the bad news is that it's very possible 
that more than the one file the computer complains about is corrupted.

I don't know how to go about recovering from something like that, others 
may have advice there.  In the worst case, copying your personal files 
onto something else and doing a format and reinstall should fix it.
