Hi I am using a Dell PowerEdge 2900 running RedHat 5. I had 4 drives in the system using a Raid 5, I purchased and installed 4 more drives keeping the configuration the same. Set up the Vertual disks in PERC 6/i. When I exit out and reboot the system I get the following:

fsck.ext3: No such file or dirrectory while trying open /dev/ddb1 [FAILED]

***An error occurred during the file system check.

***Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot

***when you leave the shell.

Then am prompted for the root pw. I enter it and am then prompted with: (Repair filesystem) 1# if I type fdisk -l I get some info on the disk along with:

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table

I am then prompted for (Repair filesystem) 2#

If I reboot I am taken to the same screen again. The system was working before this happened. Does anyone know why this is happening and or what I can do to fix it? Thanks
