Hi Sharukh,

Boot Linux into single-user mode (linux single on the LILO
prompt... substitute the name of your kernel for "linux").

Once you're in the single-user shell,

     mount -oremount,ro -n /
     e2fsck -y -f -p -v /dev/hda<your-root-partition-number>
     ^D (will reboot the system with a clean root partition)

HTH.

Regards,

-- Raju
