At least Softworx is available for download. They will not even give us a driver disk so I will have to pull any drivers I can from the dying drive. It is still not bootable though and although our actual image data is backed up, the OS is not and we will have to pay to purchase a whole new workstation computer to recover it unless I can somehow rebuild it myself. FWIW, the fsck process ended up marking a bunch of bad sectors and shoveling some files into /lost+found. I later found out that you should never fsck the original drive, and should instead image the drive and work on the image. This is where you cringe, because I did just that, on the original drive, and of course it made the problem worse. This means that whenever we run into trouble, they refuse to give us any help whatsoever and I have learned a lot of linux in the process of fixing the various problems we've had.Īnyway, a few days ago the system could no longer boot and was indicating filesystem corruption, asking me to run fsck manually. We do not have a service contract because we have an older setup and they want us to purchase a whole new one so that it can be serviceable. I work in a lab with a microscope whose workstation computer runs CentOS 5.10 (I know I am on the CentOS 6 forum, let me explain) in order to run the acquisition software (Softworx).
