Question about Sony StorStation FSV-M3 (FSV-M3/720S) 180 GB Hard Drive Array

Fixing the filesystem

I have a problem with my file system which needs some low level attention. I'd like to run e2fsck, but I can't figure out how to directly access the underlying OS. The web based user interface doesn't have any real support features. Is there any way to do this?

Do i have to program this memory card 4gb

All you need to do is format the card and copy files to it. Windows typical filesystems

FAT
FAT16
FAT32
NTFS

Linux typical filesystems

ext2
ext3
ext4

Apple typical filesystems

HFS+

Windows really only see's it's own
Linux can see all of them
Apple can see all of them

So formatting in FAT32 or NTFS would be seen by any operating system

Scanning user partition, please wait... fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sda2 Possibly non-existent or swap devi

Are you running Linux? The partition may have not been created or it may have been created but not formatted as ext, ext2, ext3. You may have created it but formatted it as swap space.
If you have access to linux LIVE CD, you may want to boot from the live CD and explore the partitions in your hard drive. For Linux there must be at least two partitions / (root) and swap.
I do not know much about ANDROID OS but I have read that it is based on a Linux Kernel.

Engine is over heating unless you turn on defroster, then the fans come on , however interior temp switch , appears not to be working, because it continues to blow cold air into the vehicle,

May just be low coolant level. Remove rad cap, or if none, coolant return bottle cap, and start engine and run heater while doing this. Now pay attention to coolant level and add as needed to top up the system. Let it run with cap off until rad fan comes on and off, 2 or 3 times and keep adding coolant if level goes down. Keep an eye on temperature gauge while doing this. It almost sounds like your coolant got low, or is low, and your heater has an airlock. Once coolant circulates back through heater and level is correct, see what happens.

I wonder if you ever pay attention to what you're doing; if you install a Linux Distribution, it's going to have a non-NTFS boot sector, and moving Windows' original boot sectors around is not guaranteed to work well.

If you pay attention to what you're doing, you should be installing Linux on a fresh disk using a good filesystem like ext3 or ext4 or Sun's filesystem. If you want to run WinXP rather than run applications (games, etc.) under WINE or a VM, you can use Disk Commander or such to boot to the old drive and mask the OS from each others' existence. Likewise you could install, run, etc. Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. from within a VM in WinXP; or install, run, etc. WinXP within a VM in a Linux. If you don't pay attention to what your install means for the system operation, you're going to get surprised.

Fsck error HELP! HELP ! HELP!

fsck is a file system error check command. Try the root password of nothing, (just the enter key), when ask for the password. Then use the fsck command to repair the file system before rebooting.
fsck - check and repair a Linux file system Try fsck with no options.
SYNOPSIS fsck [ -sACVRTNP ] [ -t fstype ] [filesys ... ] [--] [ fs-specific-options ]
DESCRIPTION fsck is used to check and optionally repair one or more Linux file systems. filesys can be a device name (e.g. /dev/hdc1, /dev/sdb2), a mount point (e.g. /, /usr, /home), or an ext2 label or UUID specifier (e.g. UUID=8868abf6-88c5-4a83-98b8-bfc24057f7bd or LABEL=root). Normally, the fsck program will try to run filesystems on different physical disk drives in parallel to reduce total amount time to check all of the filesystems.
If no filesystems are specified on the command line, and the -A option is not specified, fsck will default to checking filesystems in /etc/fstab serial. This is equivalent to the -As options.

Most of the time this means there is a problem with the filesystem or possibly bad sectors on the hard drive. If you are running windows 2000, XP, or Vista, follow these steps:

Click on Start, go to Run, type in "cmd". In the command prompt, type "chkdsk C: /r /f"

That will tell chkdsk (Check Disk) to fix the filesystem and locate/repair any bad sectors. It won't be able to run while you are using the computer, so it will ask to run on the next startup. Be sure to say yes, then restart the computer and let chkdsk run.

As for why it happens on system startup is a little more bothersome. Unless you are trying to delete something, I would suggest getting and running Spybot Search & Destroy and if you don't have any antivirus, AVG Free (http://free.grisoft.com). Both are free and quite effective.

Corrupt File System

Well i guess that either your file system is corrupt or your disk is formatted into a filesystem that it's not supported by the backup programs. I don't really know what filesystem is your disk formatted into but usually the FAT32 and FAT16 are the most failsafe file systems for Windows.
So copy/paste the data you don't want to loose and then go to
My computer -> right click on the drive icon -> format and then choose fat 32. Then try backing up your laptop again.
