<DIV><BR></DIV>Hey y'all:<BR><BR>I'm running Win 98 dualed with Red Hat
6.2. The Windows OS died a long time<BR>ago (no complaints) and I've
just been using the GNU/Linux side. I have a<BR>single hard drive
partitioned a few ways:<BR>hda1 is known as /mnt/dosc in the linux
side<BR>hda7 is known as /mnt/dosd in the linux side<BR>As the names indicate,
they are FAT32 drives that were visible by both<BR>partitions. /mnt/dosd
has the bulk of my data -- photos with captions, code,<BR>my masters thesis (I
have backups, but the LaTeX was groovy), mp3s (less<BR>important), and
assorted other data.<BR><BR>At any rate, I went to access it the other day
while in gnome and it shut the<BR>application down. Eventually, I exited
gnome and just tried to more a textfile<BR>in /mnt/dosd and got
this:<BR><BR>---<BR>Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at

tried using dosfstools to help, but couldn't get anywhere. I booted
on<BR>the windows side and scandisk gets to about 83%, says "crosschecking
names" and<BR>then reboots. I booted to dos and can see the directories
using dir but when I<BR>get deep enough in any subdirectory (just how deep
"enough" is varies) I get an<BR>Abort Retry Fail.<BR><BR>I searched google for
the beginning of the error message I posted, and there<BR>are a few other
postings of the same error messages to discussion panels like<BR>this one --
never with an answer that I could find.<BR><BR><BR><BR>I just want to be able
to access the data. I'll then back it up (I'm really<BR>broke, so I
haven't been able to afford an external CD-RW for my laptop... but<BR>I'll get
one now if it means I collect quarters at Ruggles) and once its backed<BR>up,
I can wipe the entire 30 gig drive clean and reinstall Red Hat 7.3
or<BR>whatever with no Windows/FAT32 partitions whatsoever.<BR><BR>So... any
ideas? tjvitolo<at>yahoo.com if you please. Thanks in
advance!<BR><BR>__________________________________________________<BR>Do You
