USB booting :: Restoring backup files from /mnt/hdb

ok i tried to install java and restarted my system after i couldn't figure it out... and it starts loading until it gets to "Restoring backup files from /mnt/hdb" and it just sits at that screen forever.

is there a way i could fix this... it is possible for me to access the device through win xp....

Thanks, bumross

ok, i just ended up redownloading dsl and now when i go to reboot, shutdown, switch to jwm and all that.... i get:
/usr/x11r6/bin/startx: line 66: xauth: command not found

also, when i download amsn i cant open applications after and cant open realy anything.

EDIT:i have all my old files backed up... so what ever one is easer to fix.... i prefer the first one because i have all my stuff on that one.

corrupt download ?
md5sum <filename> should match with the one posted on the mirror.

hdb? Could also be a Qemu virtual hard drive exceeded capacity.
Is this yet another Qemu?
