recent HD crash

[Darrin Lajoie]

Does anyone have an idea on this one.   A couple evenings ago, my Debian 2.1 box crashed due to a faulty power supply. It had crashed in the same way a time or two before, I put it on a UPS so I've got the problem narrowed down to the power supply. But that's not the problem.   Now on boot up, I get the following:   LIL-   Then nothing. The LILO manual.txt says the LIL- means a descriptor table is corrupt either by a geometric mismatch or by moving /boot/map without running the map installer. I've re-run LILO, but still no luck getting it to boot without my boot floppy.   From the fdisk menu I've done a v to verify the partition table and it says I have 62 unallocated sectors. My other Debian box has unallocated sectors too, so I'm not sure if this is a problem.   Can someone tell me if having unallocated sectors is related to my possible geometric mismatch and/or how do I fix my hard drive so it can boot by itself again?   Thanks Darrin
