Hey Guys,

If you are not a tech person then please ignore this message ;-)

I am sick of the slow and small 80gb death star in the mark4, so I decided to upgrade the hard drive to a 500GB... it boots and has an excellent improvement with seek time as expected plus the obvious extra space to store crap. To save myself the time of a fresh install etc I cloned the drive, but it errors on startup and so I have to do a control-d each time to get past the fsck error.. I also tried a file clone (rather than byte per byte). I also tried a few different (smaller) drives and each time doing more to preserve the exact original partition setup etc.... but the linux OS won't get over the error.

I imagine if I installed from scratch it would be ok, i'll do that later tonight when I have time... but I don't really want to set everything up again and copy my songs etc. I am an experienced IT professional but, yes a windows man :p *sorry to those linux guru's*.

So my question is firstly, anyone know the root password so I can run fsck manually so it can get over the little error or know how to edit the conf to skip and move on at bootup. Otherwise I will have to keep on pressing control-d every time I turn on the bloody piano lol :p

Has anyone else bothered to upgrade their HD? What's been their experience?

The other question, does anyone know the secret to get into the bios, I need to check something out.... I tried lots of things, but I imagine it would be something silly like holding down the spacebar and open the cd tray or something on turn on... who knows.

Cheers,

Philip
