Hi guys and gals.

I have a big problem - I have been locked out of my machine...

On Startup I get the following message:

"Starting up RAID Devices.
Checking filesystems
fsck.ext3/dev/hdd6:

The superblocks could not be read or .../... 
you might try running e2fsck with alternative superblocks
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>"

When I do this (which I dont really understand what it all means),
replacing <device> with /dev/hdd6 I get the message:
 
"No such file or directory".

I am running Mandrake 10.0 and it has worked a treat since
re-installation over 3 months ago. I have not installed any fancy RAID
software or apps. (that I know of) and this problem happened since I
removed a slave drive that was in the machine (but to my knowledge
doing nothing). I have tried replacing the slave drive (after
reformatting it for other use, though) but get the same problem.

Can anyone guide me in the right direccion to solve this problem - I
am locked out of my own machine :-( I tried google, but there was no
mention of how to fix this problem, but rather how to install RAID for
the use of multiple HDs. 

All I want is to disable this RAID thing as I am only using one Master
HD with my Mandrake and Windows XP (the latter is working still).

Thanks for your help

Eliroven
