Re: [newbie] startup

Sounds like you exited abnormally. Since I have been using shutdown -r now (the -r is for reboot, I guess) and turning it off at POST, I havent had that problem. To fix: enter root password for maintenance enter the next line fsck /dev/hda1 (if that is your hard drive designation) and I always pick all the defaults (I think it will unattended) then shutdown/reboot   I mistakenly used to use halt to shutdown. To make a partition for a windows installation use the fips utility to split your partition.
