SCO Open Server 6 - System Halt

=========================================================
Errrr previously post: SCO Open Server 6 - System Halt

Then I think it's better to post here. If I wrong, please ignore.
=========================================================

Dear All,

Newbie here, hope my post goes to the correct room.

System: SCO Open Server 6.0

Everything running well, after this Sunday morning noone can login via telnet or via putty, the system suddenly reject without any message (and also ftp). The local IT Support there (without enough knowledge of SCO Unix) try to restart the system manually twice and get an error message:

Warning: msgcnt1 1 vxfs: mesg 016 vx_ilisterr / file system error reading inode 373.

And after showing the message, the system will dump memory and show another message that the system is halt, press anykey to restart.

If I try to restart, again the system will showing the message.

From searching the Internet, the message shown above related to I/O error. But since I cant login to the system there's nothing that I can do.

At this point, really dont know how to save the data inside the disk. Should I re-installing the system ?

Or try to install a new system and put the harddisk and doing recovery from a new fresh installed server ?

Or SCO Open Server 6.0 installation CD have an option "rescue" ?

Sorry for my poor English.

Warmest Regards,
Virgani D
