Hi
Boot as linux single, i.e. in single user mode and run 'fsck -a /dev/hd*'
Substitute your partition.
-a option tells fsck to assume 'y' as answer to every question it asks. It's
usually safer to do that. However you can not use this option if fsck during
boot fails. At this point of time if it can not repair the file system, it drops
you to a root shell. You are expected to run fsck manually and can not use '-a'
from here. You need to type a lots of y there.
You need not fiddle with any fsck option. '-a' might be the last one you ever
need. :-))
And after all efforts if fsck can not do that, you may need to edit the file
system manually. Of course when you attach that disk to a different machine.
:-))
Listers, correct me if I am wrong.
Bye
