fsck means "file system check". It is similar to chkdsk or scandisk in
Windows. 

What happened on your system was that for some reason the boot process
found some inconsistencies on your disk(s) / partition(s) and you need
to run fsck manually. The system will boot into a shell, and you just
need to type 'fsck /dev/hda1' where /dev/hda1 is the partition that fsck
finds problems with.

Under this situation, you don't want to run fsck with any options other 
than the obvious one for the drive/partition.
