[mythtv-users] Partition full - help!

[Ben Coates]

It powers up. I dont get a login prompt as my system's not set up that way.
After 30 secs or so I get a mouse cursor and a message saying X can't start.
And then the system resets itself...repeat over and over...

So I can't interact with the machine at all...

Going to try the live CD suggestion and see whether that works.

Thanks for your help

B :)
