Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000f06a6

        Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1            2048       73727       35840    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2           73728     7837695     3881984   83  Linux

Check which device is your SD card. then for e.g.

Code:

fsck /dev/mmcblk0p2

Thanks for your speedy reply CurlyMo - I will do that tomorrow and report back with findings. Too late here in Australia now, time for bed.

Thanks bi God that I have a stack of live distros in the cupboard, saves downloading and burning.

Thanks again / Frank
