read only file system

[Graham Barnett]

I am running a dual boot SuSE 8.0 / Win98 system   I get the following error messages when booting into linux   Reiserfsck: could not open filesystem on "/dev/hda5" Warning.... fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/hda5 exited with signal 6 fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda5 failes (status 0X8) run manually! clm-6005:writing node 941 on readonly FS   after a few more lines it continues   fsck failed. Please repair manually and reboot. The file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write do:   bash# mount -n -o remount,rw /   Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintanance mode: shutdown or reboot will not work.   Give root password to login:   I enter my root password and the prompt changes to   (none):~#   I enter the command as stated above, and then press enter. I reboot by using CONTROL-D and it makes no difference, I get the same messages again. It makes no difference if I use either the safe settings, or repair boot options.   Do I have to reinstall or is their an easier way???   thanks Graham     --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
