Hi 

I'm a total newbie.  I installed Ubuntu Eee on my Medion E1210 & it worked perfectly.  I therefore thought I'd shrink the windows partition & expand the linux partition.  I'm now getting an error on startup on the home partition that is: "dev/sda4/ resize inode not valid".  I'm prompted to run fsck manually in a maintenance shell but that command line shell refuses to accept the root password, but allows me to enter Ctrl D to continue.  The system then runs perfectly.  I'm advised I can't repair a mounted partition - any advice??

Bob
