Maybe, I will need to do your suggestion. However, it's very strange that I can use this partition perfectly with precise puppy or artful, and Gparted found no errors.bigpup wrote:Earlier you posted this:The thing is Gparted is doing the check using this same program. e2fsck.Tested with Gparted, no errors found...
STRANGE!!
Run the check several times to see if it always says no errors.
Wonder if you have a drive going bad
Just Puppy luck it is acting up when using Puppy.
This is what I would do.
Delete the partition.
Make a new partition from the now unallocated space.
Format it to ext 3.
Try to copy anything on the ext4 partition you want to keep to some other location.
Boot Xenialpup from something other than the hard drive.
A live install on a USB flash drive or a CD/DVD.
The drive the partition is on cannot be mounted or at least the partition cannot be mounted.
Run Gparted and delete, partition, and format.
Thanks for your help, Bigpup. I have learned with you in this and other topics in this forum. Best wishes
