How do I?
Senario:
Hard drive with two puppy 4.3.1 full installs.
One of them has gone faulty (power crash while working)
Tried:
fsck'ing the partition - nogo on reboot
e2fscking the partition - nogo on reboot
Want to:
Use my boot disc and do a puppy pfix=clean, there is too much installed to just reinstall, /root is some 5gig to start with.
BUT:
it keeps picking the good one, no option to pick the faulty one.
All I want to do is tell it which partition to "clean"!
Any ideas folks
thanks

Each in it's own partition.
Boot the cd.
Run full install from universal installer choosing the messed up
partition.
Choose "upgrade" not "wipe".
No need to install grub again......reboot.
