      Hi,

      Since you have ext3 on your disk, boot the system with the linux Operating System CD 1. Then select the option Repair.
      Then after a series of windows, which you bascially accept them, you will be passed to a console (int 1). and all your drives and shares are mounted on the image created by the Rescue operation.
      Then, type “df -h” and see the Disk labels like
      ‘/dev/hdd’ or ‘/dev/hda1′.
      then Type “e2fsck -c /dev/hdd’.
      Check for all the drives. If you find errors then type the option “-p” and run the disk again, which will remove the errors on the ext3 disks.
      Then reboot the system. You will fine.

      Chaitanya.
