I have a dual boot system with Linux and Win2k.
Last night I was testing a TV recorder card and I let it fill all of drive F:, which is NOT a bootable drive (it's a FAT32, for media stuff).
It all worked fine and the card just stopped recording after it filled that drive.
I turned off the computer later and in the morning switched it on again, but to my surprise the boot manager (GRUB) displayed only "error 16" and then halted. Error 16 means that there is an
"Inconsistent filesystem structure - This error is returned by the filesystem code to denote an internal error caused by the sanity checks of the filesystem structure on disk not matching what it expects. This is usually caused by a corrupt filesystem or bugs in the code handling it in GRUB."
I made a google search and saw that the same happened to someone else, too ...
Anyway, I don't have a clue how to solve this.
I'm no expert, so all i tried was to connect the drive as a slave to another computer, but that didn't work - the drive seemed not to be formatted.
I guess it would be enough to delete something from the F drive, if there isn't any permanent solution ....
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance, Dietmar.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: grub error due to full hard drive
Boot with the Installation CD 1, and type linux rescue. The installation process will begin but it will end in a "recovery console".
If your linux installation is recognized, you will get a message, indicating that you can use chroot /mnt/sysimage to access it.
Run that command and then reinstall GRUB, using:
grub-install /dev/(device special file)
Like:
grub-install /dev/hda
You must install grub on the active partition, you can see the active partition with fdisk -l (*). If the active partition is 1, then you must install on the MBR, that is, without specifying any partition, as the example showed above.

Re: grub error due to full hard drive
Ivan: I could do that, but i want to be sure not to screw up my data - is this second grub installation reversible or not? I mean, can i make a back-up ...
Thank you, both!

Re: grub error due to full hard drive
dd if=/dev/hda of=/etc/hda.mbr bs=512 count=1
If something goes wrong, you can restore the MBR using:
dd if=/etc/hda.mbr of=/dev/hda
In this case, is the Primary Master IDE disk.

Re: grub error due to full hard drive
It can see the linux partition and both fat32 partitions, though i can't see the windows partition...
Now that i can access the f drive, do you think it is a good idea just to delete some files that made this whole problem, ie. the mpg files i was making with my tv tuner?
That seems to me the best and easiest idea, but i don't know if it's safe to do that.
As i'm no expert, i'm a little bit afraid to do anything, though something has to be done ...
Thanx, guys, for your time and patience!
