I like to boot off a "rescue" disk (get the rescue.img off the CDROM
and install it onto a floppy with dd in Linux or rawrite in
Windows/Dos.) Then when the rescue disk is loaded, type e2fsck
/dev/hda1 (assuming you're talking about the first drive in an
all-linux system...you kinda threw me with the "/dev/hd1" bit
there...)
