Thanks, I'll do that.

I have 2 sticks. I thought they had to be in in pairs. Or is that old 
stuff from way back?

Here's the results of my fsck'ing from Kubuntu ...

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck -y /dev/hde1
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hde1: recovering journal
/dev/hde1: clean, 193657/1221600 files, 1411292/2441872 blocks
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck -y /dev/hde2
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
fsck: fsck.swap: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.swap for /dev/hde2
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck -y /dev/hde3
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
ext3 recovery flag is clear, but journal has data.
Run journal anyway? yes

/dev/hde3: recovering journal
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/dev/hde3: 6447/1465920 files (6.6% non-contiguous), 741615/2929854 blocks
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck -y /dev/hde4
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hde4: clean, 10909/36290560 files, 35472044/72575645 blocks (check 
in 2 mounts)
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$

Dot done anything else yet. Lots of work that I need to get back to. 
Just had an extended lunch break on the machine :-)

Cheers
