Hi Jeanette,
When it prompts for the password give it, type
fsck /dev/What_ever_it_whined_about
If it prompts you for anything answer yes. Hit ctrl-d the machine will
reboot, does it occur again? Is it the same device? If not just repeat the
proccess. If it is, what is the /dev/ entry? Whats the partitioning
scheme? (fdisk -l /dev/hdX) Kernel version? (uname -r)
